o/t anyone from nj?

is there anyone on t talk from the central nj area?

Spent the first 21 years of my life in swartswood NJ, the next 10 in south Louisiana! Will never have a Cajun accent so I"ll never be from around here..

Used to be, Basking Ridge, Woodbridge, and or Hopelawn, near Perth Amboy, hard to believe its been so long since I've been back down, got rid of my place in Hopelawn in '05 or so. Not sure if that counts, but I think my stay was from '90,'91 to '05 lived near Wayne NJ, then down to Brick TWP, Manasquan too. Know the area quite well.

Yes, Kingwood Twsp. West of Flemington.

I have lived in 10 states during my 71 sojourn upon this planet: PA,OH, AL,NY,NJ,FL,MI,WV,OR,VA. Lived in NJ 1958-60, near Hackettstown, haven"t been back since leaving there to join USN. Has anything changed??

Never lived in NJ and I am surprised that so many admit that they do live there or did. Been through there a few time and didn't like the traffic and the crowds.
Just kidding! Do not know very much about living in New Jersey but a lot of good people live there so it must be good.

Lived there too, Crows Mill rd near the firehouse. Great Portuguese restaurant in town there Used to like JJ Bitting brew pub in Woodbridge, few other places too, close to all the major highways, last few years there I was working some real long hours in NYC.

Not any longer! Real glad I'm not still out there.

From what I have seen, NJ was absolutely beautiful, but so much was developed for homes, industry, highways, its often judged on what can be seen from the road. When I worked in the site work field, I did experience much of the various soils and conditions, some of the deep black sandy loam top soil I can remember stripping, picture perfect farm lands we destroyed for houses, just the actual terrain and landscape, say like near Far Hills, or places in south jersey. I've never seen top soils so deep as I saw in NJ in some places, incredible, so much of it on one job, they dug a huge borrow pit for sand and buried it, was in Howell TWP.

North Jersey had a lot of agriculture, and reminded me of here, some mountains and similar terrain. It was a conflict to sit on a D8K and push scrapers on farm land, I am not proud to say I did a lot of that, last crop of corn, even cleared a huge pumpkin patch in Flanders/Mount Olive, all the left over trash clogging the radiator grills, sure looked like really nice soils, but with progress, and all the people, commuting to NYC, that live or want to live there and big time developers like K Hovnanian, putting up thousands of homes per year, won't be long. I worked in Flemington/Whitehouse Station in '92 on a large site job and boy has that changed since, the landscape especially. We did a Costco off Rt 80 in or near Wharton, bunchers/fellers, tub grinders just cleared it in no time, we came in right after, strip the tops soils, all the site work, underground utilities etc. I've never seen developing like its done in NJ,I sure moved a lot of earth and set a lot of pipe way back when.

I grew up in Cresskill, NJ in Bergen County. Haven't been there since 1975. I used to work for the John Deere dealer in Ramsey, NJ (Imperial Tractor).

Lived in Franklin Lakes 2 years in the 70's then Basking Ridge 3 years in the 80'S. Great place to live, tough place to work. Have lots of good memories.

US 46 still goes thru town. Star intersection still gets all jammed up. I remember when a friend of mine with NJSP was sent to Hackettstown one night. He asked what the nature of the call was. He was told: "You'll see when you get there." Traffic was blocked for miles in all directions. When he got to the star intersection he found the drunken Chief of Police trying to direct traffic. He said: "Sir, you'll have to come with me." The Chief objected but was persuaded to the trooper car and was taken home where his wife was waiting. She took one look at him and yelled: "You drunken SOB! Get in here!" One more night in the life of a Trooper. Another time, I was invited to the American Legion Club in Hackettstown where a good friend was being honored as the new State Vice Commander. They had prepared three punch bowls. One with vodka martinis, one with gin, and one with manhattens. you just ladled up your own. By the time the dinner came, everyone was pretty well pie-eyed. The Master of Ceremonies was so drunk no one could understand him even though his jokes where probably funny. He was the only one laughing. Someone in the crowd decided to get up and sing "America the Beautiful" but he was so drunk no one knew what he was trying to do so the Sergeant at Arms removed him from the hall. All perfectly normal in Hackettstown. (;>))
