haha nahhh because even in the "safe" areas, you got angry, drunk guido's who puck fights with anybody and everybody. They are worse than the gangsta's imo, because they will fight you for nothing at all, where as gangsta's will usually shoot you if you are in a gang or steal their drug money.



LOL where do you get the idea that guidos are all around new jersey? they seem like a state-wide phenomenon but they're not, they are isolated to certain types of places, which happen to be certain clubs and bars. If you want to avoid guidos in new jersey it is very easy, even if you live in a guido town. That being said, there are also highly WASPy towns where you could swear you just stepped into Pleasantville. NJ has that kind of variety.

in otha words, go fuk yaself.



haha jk

that's so true. in this case, for so many people the option is worth more than the stock.

it's actually number 2. At almost $70K, i think Luxembourg is the only non-oil producing country that has a higher per capita income. I think Bahrain and the UAE may be higher (but they don't count because that wealth is rather concentrated).

Iberia

Iberia, Solar de Minho, Seabra's, so much delicious brazilian & portuguese bbq food around in that area.

I was heavily contemplating getting an apartment in nyc, but I think I might go for a condo in Harrison instead. 3 blocks away from Tops Diner

then you weren't seriously considering an apartment in the city. Vastly different prices and lifestyles. Personally, I would choose harrison even if blowing 2K a month on a studio was something i was willing to do, which i sure as hell don't want to do (especially considering i have a nice deal on a 3br apartment in bayonne).


Posted by spc on Dec-06-2008 23:04:

Yeah, you're probably right. I was considering it, but I'd much rather own property rather than pay rent on an apartment. The spot I'm looking at in Harrison would be prime because it is about 5 blocks away from the path station. I work right outside of the WTC path station.

that's perfect. are you talking about the new condos they are putting up on the south side of 280? I want to say on south first street.

i work in Times Square, unfortunately, so getting a spot in the city is something that crosses my mind from time to time. The three train transfer BS is getting old. Hopefully when the economy turns around i can find a job downtown (if business still operates down there when this thing is over).

Yeah, 3 Stanley Cups in 9 years is terrible... And we just beat the Canadiens in Montreal, without Brodeur in net for the next 4 months... Oh, and we're still in the same standing as when Brodeur was here, but we're 3-5 games less-played than everyone else above us... You do the math...

Good move... My friend's brother lives around there... I'm looking around there next semester for a place to move out to, as it's near the new soccer stadium, and a stop away from seeing Devils games whenever I want to!...

From a neutrals point of view, the negative/boring tactics used mean games aren't worth watching. There are enough teams who try to use some flair and skill and sometimes they'll have results go against them, but at least they try.

Well yes and no... It's like comparing the street basketball player who has all flair and does crazy moves and tricks, to the NBA player who is less entertaining but has the fundamentals down-pat.

I'm probably wrong here, but nothing can stop me from arguing for my Devs

but does it have the charm my lovely little town did


Posted by saltytheseagull on Dec-09-2008 02:24:

Although I haven't lived there I was in Avon by the Sea this summer, and it was pretty nice. It seems like the state is a piece of swiss cheese though. There are some great parts and absolutely horrible parts. A guy down the hall from me said that they supposedly turned AC around. Last time I was there (I think 3 or 4 years ago) it was an absolute dump.

True....i went this fall for the first time in about ten years. It was surprising how many people in there looked unemployable. King da ka is the shit though. probably the best roller coaster anywhere. the coaster by batman was pretty sick also - i think it's called nitro.
