AC is a dump and Seaside Heights is seedy guidoville, but the rest is gorgeous.
Much of New Jersey is beautiful; it is the terrible cities, stocked with government-subsidized Democrats, that weigh down the State and its politics. The Northwest part of the State is beautiful (Sussex, Hunterdon, Warren, Morris and northern Passaic counties) as are Monmouth, Ocean, Cape May and Salem counties in middle NJ and the south (coincidentally, all are Republican strongholds). The problems are Newark, Camden, Trenton, Jersey City, etc.
