Huh? I just made a wrong turn in Camden a few weeks ago. Not pretty.

Honestly, I really don't care much for the state. I agree there are some nice areas but they are relatively few and far between. In general, taxes and crime are high. Those are two things that I don't really like to be high. I do kind of like the full serve gas as self serve prices. I like Italian women...there seem to be a fair number of them in NJ.

You know I think the toll road thing leaves a lot of visitors with a bad taste in their mouth. First impressions are everything and when you have to pay an admission tax to go to an area, some people tend not to like that. No, this is not unique to NJ but the tolls are pretty prominent.
