Just an effort to get members a chance to learn about other places and understand better why some things are as they are reputation wise.
I'm from NJ, born in the north eastern part of the state, city environment, right across from NYC. High taxes but you earn a heel of a lot more then in other parts of the state and country. Corruption? Sure but everyone is corrupt, if your not screwing someone, someone is screwing you. It's all part of the game and built into the economy as well as the mind set.
Yes we have dirty dilapidated cities like Newark and Camden, but we also have great cultural things like museums a fantastic selection of restaurants, wonderfully diverse and ethnic communities from all over the world. I can shop in India Square one minute and in 15 minutes be shopping in a place that is exclusively Cuban or Central/South American, almost no English spoken but it's great!
We've got the shore, with dozens and dozens of miles of white sandy beaches, boardwalks, stadiums, concert venues, great classic theaters line the Stanley or Count Basie. Did I mention we also have a great view of the NYC skyline, right across the Hudson river?
