There are also many people on this forum who make blanket, incorrect and offensive statements about entire boroughs of which they know almost nothing.It's like they drove across The Cross Bronx Expressway once, in 1976 and think they have seen The Bronx.It would be like if I went to the worst part of Newark once in my life and decided that was what all of New Jersey looked like and labeled the whole state a ghetto.

good point. its amazing that you have morons from nyc saying new jersey sucks. new jersey is a big state with lots of different types of areas.

i have friends from brooklyn that never leave brooklyn. we drove down to our summer house on long beach island, nj and they were amazed that the houses were 1 family houses. i doubt i would have even understood their questions if i didnt live in brooklyn for a while. i feel like so many people are isoltated in nyc and dont know anything outside of this world.

my brother has a friend that moved to ohio. he visited him there a couple of times. when you talk to people from nj/nyc area they think that anything between here and california is people living in shacks Mod cut: languagetheir cousins.

I agree.So in reality New Jersey and The Bronx(and Brooklyn) have a lot in common.They each contain some of the best and some of the worst there is.
