I would just love to live in a very cool and unique town with some ambiance and a small town American feel.... Any suggestions? Putting it another way, if you were shooting a movie, what town would you use for a locale that best reflected "americana". West Orange? Chatham? Summit? Bernardsville? Chester? Others???

Chester gets my vote.

If it were in a more "convenient" location, I would move there in a second.

But then, if it were in a more "convenient" location, it wouldn't be the same town.

LOL! How many times are you going to bring up (silly) rankings from 2005? (and didn't make it in 2006 and barely eek'd by in 2007?) Didn't you say "it's only a piece of paper"?

Default Westfield gets lots of commercials filmed here

I only know because they can be a nuisance when you're actually trying to drive or shop! And it's disconcerting to suddenly see something out of place, such as Christmas trees in summer (for Perfect Holiday, I think that was). Anyway, here's an IMDb link to Westfield movies:

Titles with locations including<br>Westfield, New Jersey, USA

You could probably search for other places too!

As for your actual question, I'd bet there are lots of charming spots. Chester, Lambertville, Madison, etc.

I agree with Chester. Montclair has had many movies filmed there. I believe there's a location scout living there, so that helps!
