Oh stop it...
So, if you leave NJ you should be banned from this forum?
Bah Humbug!
Hey, BrianH actually made a strong attempt at moving back to NJ, but decided to come back South again...I guess the pizza and bagels just couldn't keep him in NJ.
I'm coming back up to NJ this week and I'm bringing a smile, coupla "y'alls", some Cheerwine, BBQ and fried okra so y'all better brace yourselves!
And I'm going to convince (anyone who will listen) that there is life after New Jersey. (I've already converted two families.)
Rudeness in retail stores? Wow we experience the total opposite. We were back in South Jersey earlier this month and in the Cherry Hill mall and while the mall was busy-nothing but friendliness. The retail workers in NJ are certainly friendlier than the retail workers up here in NH. People in NJ are much friendlier and polite in my opinion. We go back home to NJ several times a year and always notice this.
I was quite surprised myself. The area we were shopping was in E. Hanover.
Location: Some got six month some got one solid. But me and my buddies all got lifetime here

The bagels would've been breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I tried to capture the same lifestyle I live in NC.
Let's be honest here, Tahiti...your not trying to be sarcastic.
It gets under your skin when someone doesn't swallow the "NJ is great" Koolaid.
There is nothing wrong with New Jersey, well...ummm.... besides the ridiculously high taxes, unusually high cost of living, etc, etc..., but don't let the "were-better-off-in-other-states" crowd bring you down, you're making the best of it.
Oh, and here's my disclaimer, because the "all in good fun" comment didn't sink in before:

why are you starting with me? i was being sarcastic, if you don't believe me, so be it. i'm not repeating myself about my stand on NJ, i've traveled the world, home is where the heart is, NJ or wherever. please, give it a rest.
There's a place called Touch of Italy over by use in Woodstock that's very good. There's also a place over near the Gwinett Arena (the name escapes me) and there's a pizzeria attached to the Alpine Bakery in Alpharetta that's excellent. Alpine, btw, has some of the best baked goods you'll find anywhere.
LOL. I love how people will pay $20k+ in RE taxes for a McMansion that ends up in a politician's pockets all for the sake of "good" pizza and bagels. It's like a 10 year old who gets beat by his dad daily but says it's cool since he pays the mortgage. I've only been here for the past 3 months for a project, so maybe I'm missing a silver lining here. Or not.
