Coastal GA would have the best food (of GA), in my opinion. Love Italian food, so, that's a good thing with NJ.

Don't forget the only good thing about Georgia in August: Muscadines

I wish they were harvestable year round, but my usual late summer gorging is in full swing.

In your post to which I responded, you mentioned that you lived in NJ and then later said, "You keep pushing Jersey.I've been and seen Trenton,Patterson,Newark,Camden.Ill take Georgia's cities over Jersey's any day." That gives the impression that you equate NJ with those cities. Whatever you have written in the past doesn't matter; nobody's going to go research every post you've ever written to put this last one into some kind of context whereby it softens the message. For you to bring up past messages and suggest they somehow mitigate your unbalanced presentation of NJ cities in the post to which I responded is disingenuous, at best.

Not as I say, but as YOU say; you claimed to live in NJ and the only cities you identified as having "seen and been" are "Trenton,Patterson,Newark,Camden[sic]".

Often it feels like "meth lab tour" is all that's on the menu when I'm driving around the south.

Which in my opinion actually makes it even more perplexing that in New Jersey was all that.(admittedly in some cases it has huge advantages)yet people are moving away into states like Delaware.Could at be that its just not that the advantages are that overwhelmingly that people would want to stay?I guess not judging from the Census figures...[snip]

You were "called on them". That doesn't mean that anyone had proven that you were wrong; it only means that some people basically said "nuh-uh!!!" to what you posted and I believe that constitutes a solid, inarguable rebuttal in at least some parts of the south.

Keep insulting all you want.You are only showing your true colors.Your history is very well known.Too bad you are so jaded living in Jersey.

Also, slightly off topic, but I LOVE the smell of an orchard.

Do you think some sweet Vidalia Onions Vidalia Onions, Vidalia Sweet Onions, Vidalia Onion Recipes, Buy Vidalia Onions - - Vidalia Onion Committee from Georgia would go good with those Jersey tomatoes in a sauce? Hmm. I'm starting to think Georgia and Jersey could have something here.

Someone just brought a bag full to work this morning. The ones I've seen hanging from vines alongside the walk trail I use are just getting ripe.

Good idea - they'd make a great sauce.

Another thing in common between NJ and GA is that they produce about the same amount of peaches.

One other thing of interest, maybe a little morbid but in the media frenzied environs of today thought this was somewhat interesting

Two of the more memorable live tragic events took place in these states

Hindenburg - albeit radio but was live
Olympic Bombing

Both for better or worse will always have an association with these states
