New Jersey.....Yea many are saying WHAT!!

I live in northwestern NJ......45 minutes from NY City....I can go see the Yankees.....or go to a Broadway show.....as Matt Schurman did last Saturday........( Jersey Boys).....and be home in an hour or so....

Shopping 5 minutes..Everything and anything...including Home Depot and PC.Richards.....and lots more malls a short drive away....
.
Work 10 minutes away and I am fortunate to be in a line of work that has almost always been busy and I have been there for 20 years....and right now we are off the charts busy......

Tracks.....Island....20 minutes
E-Town 1 hour
Atco 2 hours
Maple Grove 2+ hours
Numidia 2-1/2 hrs
Lebanon Valley 3 hours
Cecil...about 3 hours...

All those driving times are with NO traffic tieups and that is always a potential problem depending on what time and what day....

I live in the "Burbs"......Nice rolling hills......Very nice area with eveything one could want.......Some of the highest average income areas in the USA are not far from me......As well as some nice lakes including the largest lake in NJ.....Head a little farther North and or West and you can still find farms and lots of forest land.....
Of course it comes with a price....but it beats the heck out of many places I have been to.....

About the only thing we are lacking anymore is Machine Shops for racers like myself that like to do their own engines.....Not much to choose from these days and that is a serious problem.......I was used to having one 5 minutes from my house to work with.....Sadly they closed their doors.....

I still love NJ......and was born in Newark.....and spent many hours in the City type atmosphere.......so I appreciate where I live a lot......and have been in the same home for 41 years......
