Describe NJ in one word!? -

If you could describe New Jersey in one word, what would that word be?I m going to be moving from California to NJ soon, and wondering what kind of living I m going to have there?I ll be staying FIRST in Long Branch, Monmouth County (at least for some months.)

I m not familiar with Monmouth County, but I believe it s near the shore. Beautiful.I ll bet those who slam NJ above have never been there, or are too busy listening to the stereotypical comments others make: Smelly. Boring , or only travel past Linden and Port Amboy (refineries) and think that s all NJ s about.Like any other state, there are good, and bad parts.I live in NJ, in the northwesternmost part. Peaceful, country, no sirens, jackhammers, pollution, skyscrapers.In a word? Tranquil.

Varied.In 1-2 hours you can go to grungy cities, NYC(!), the shore (we don t call it the beach in Jersey), wonderful wooded hiking trails, small towns, suburbs, great food.The adjustment from left coast to best coast will likely take a while. People may seem more brusque, but that s the pace of life. They are NOT being rude. Ask a question and they ll tell you what they think. PC is a foreign language.

Would Sh*thole be 1 word or 2? NJ is the nations capitol for crime, murder being number 1 in Camden, NJ.
