Really, it's the food that keeps me in North Jersey

for a commute. The town I live in has an extremely high rate of NYC commuters - for example -we had one of the highest number lost in the WTC on 9/11. I never understand though why people act like the commute is not a big deal - on a good day it is 1 1/2 hours just to get into the city not considering drive home & time once in the city to get to your office. If that was an hour express without considering drive home & time to get to your office, I'd consider it, but I don't think I have the temperment for the type of commute that seems standard to NYC.

I am telling the truth. You are Mean. It is supposed to be an hour, it never was. Maybe at 3pm, but not 5pm.

is quite true...sorry to say...TN would be a culture shock, at the least, for many, I'd have to think.
