new jersey seems to be the "armpit of america" from what ive heard...everyone says it smells gross too......and their girls aren't attractive to me , something about their deep manly voices....no thanks, im ok
So now the latest is if air does not have LA smog it smells gross? And if a girl says no to you on the first date --- your excuse is they are unattractive?

The Poconos smell gross? The farms of South NJ smell gross? Too many people from around the country think all of NJ is Elizabeth.
Illinois is a nicer state. Even Chicago's suburban areas are nicer than New Jersey's. New Jersey seems like wannabe New England.
I heard really nice things about the Chicago suburbs from a couple of peeps (including my father) but I am sure that both states have both nice and not so nice suburbs. But New Jersey is famous for it's sheer variety of suburban areas so I am sure you will find some of the nicest suburbs in America in New Jersey. Some of them like in Morris, Somerset and part of Passaic counties are in the New Jersey Highlands.

Exactly. There is one part of NJ that smells gross. That one small section of the Turnpike in Newark, Elizabeth, Linden. The rest of NJ either smells like nothing (suburbs), horse manure (northwest, and south), or a salty sea breeze (the 120 miles of coastline).
Very true LINative.. NJ burbs are some of the most unique.
My NYC suburb of Hackensack is weird.. It's a city of a population of 43K, but it has huge mansions on the highest point of town to the more poorer area at the bottom of the hill - luxury high rises to section 8 projects. - Middle class people to people above convenient stores apartments.. I don't think you'll ever find that much of a built diversity in a city of that population with only 4 square miles to build it all on!

and the Riverside Mall - that's a pretty fancy mall

I think that when a suburb has diverse development like Hackensack it is a sign the community has been around for a long time and was an independent community before it became a suburb of a larger city. I think also it is the Bergen County seat? That is another sign it is an older community because you usually do not put county seats in the middle of nowhere.
Doesn't every state have industry?
NJ's only problem is that it put theirs on the much traveled Trurnpike.
You can go for very long stretches on the Tpke. without seeing anything but trees. Or smell anything BUT them.
Again, all of NJ isn't that one very small part.
