So I live in Newark, NJ right now, and its going to hell right now.  10 days ago they laid off like 150 police officers, and we've had such a huge increase in violent crimes the national guard is now patrolling the city.  I've seen 3 choppers with spotlights pass by in the past hour.  Sirens like crazy.  Kinda scary considering the riots that have occured here in the past.  Here is an article if anyone is interested http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2010/12/09/essex-county-calls-on-national-guard-to-stem-violence/ .  Its just crazy. nearly 100 murders this year alone.  At least I hopefully get to ski for the first time this winter on saturday ( given I dont get carjacked ).  Just a rant since I'm obviously not going out tonight haha.

Nah. Thats the south like alabama, missippi, etc. Where all the inbred, white trash and racist white supremecists live.

I would trade the natural beauty of Texas for the shit hole that is a large portion of NJ.  In a heartbeat.  Mountain biking the Texas hill country isn't that bad of an option at all.

Jersey is for sure not all like this hell-hole.  This shithole town does suck, but the rest of the state is pretty nice.
