Yea, but the part they shit-talk is just the Jersey Shore, which is about 4% of the state. The northern part is pretty bad, slums and such, but the entire southern part of the state is a huge national wildlife area. It's called the Garden State for a reason.
Partly. Ironically, I am going to be around Napoli for a couple weeks of it. PM me if you're in town on a specific date or something and we can definitely hook up.
I'm doing the same, hectic, hiring cleaning companies for the apartment is a bitch. I found an album of tradable hockey cards I used to have when I was 12-13, huge wtf to see collectables of NHL legends of the 90s.
