True-but-funny story; In the 1940's, my grandparents owned a deli in Jersey City.

Gram convinced gramp to buy a summer cabin in Westerlo, NY.

Then Gram took my dad and his brothers up there for the summer.

In August, she sent Gramp a telegram - "NJ Stinks. Sell the store. Not coming back."

So my dad grew up on a dairy farm in NY...

LOL.

The place ain't improved much. NJ, I mean.
