It is downright rude - but those are the same type of journalists that slag Bon Jovi for hair - 20 years after the fact. They paint such a bad picture that when I post gorgeous pictures of New Jersey here people question me.

Keep in mind - that with all their fame and money Jon and Bruce still live here because they love it - not because they have to. I could add others to that list too but you get the point. I moved back here after many years in California because I never "transplanted" well.

New Jersey has it's bad areas - just as anywhere else does but it also has some absolutely beautiful mountains and beaches that many places don't have.
