Yes, NJ has its share of superfund sites, radon and oil refineries but did you know that the state motto is "The Garden State?" That's because until the farmers started planting genetically modified condo seeds, it was a predominantly rural state known for its agricultural produce.

The area I live in was mostly farms 40 years ago. Now its mostly developments. But huge areas of the state are still wilderness and more acres are protected each year by state law.

From a legal and social perspective, we are probably one of the most progressive states in the union - and have been so for many years.

So, come join our team and tell us which exit you are on the turnpike (yeah, go ahead - slap me!!!). If you don't live here, your know you want to, so join anyway. At least when you finally do move here, you'll have lots of friends.

BTW - existing members - please give us a shout out here and let us know how you're doing.
