Thumbs up Only bad thing about Jersey

Jenny:

The one bad thing I can tell about Jersey is the Sbarro pizza chain, especially the one at the Paramus Park Mall...thumbs down!!!

Other than that I think Jersey is an ok place to live and be from!

Glad to have been born in Jersey, glad to have left. Too liberal and expensive for me
folks. But it's nice to go back and visit sometimes.

Hmmm.... $8000. in property taxes with crappy schools and no services vs. $2000 for nearly twice the house on twice the land and the affordability of private schools??

I was born & raised in Jersey, but you broke me.

SEE YA!

Great opening post, and I agree wholeheartedly. I've been in plenty of other states and I can't imagine being happier anywhere else. The only thing that sometimes bothers me about the state is the impatience on the road, stores, parking lots, etc. because of the congestion, but otherwise, I'm happy as can be here too.

Good...go...goodbye. Jersey didn't need you anyway.

To the OP, I printed your post out to carry around with me. Probably the single best post I've ever seen on these forums.

i loved that post... i have been beating myself up inside for leaving the NJ/NYC area since i have arrived here in the god forsaken state of florida. I need to come back, and this post just violently pulled me towards leaving a lot sooner than later! I miss my 4 seasons, the food, the proximity to like 5 major cities within 5 hours, just everything, even the stereotypes! The schools out there are 10 times better than even the A rated schools here in florida. I have a son and i originally thought that it would be better to raise him here in south florida, but i was dead wrong.
