wawa's are great in general. they have a pretty good deli section (for a chain convenience store). i love the homestyle roast beef sandwiches. i wish there was a wawa in north jersey. i think keyport is as far north as they go. |

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.
:stongue: :haha:

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, 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 :wtf: |

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). |

| 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. |
