Tom,
We lived in Howell, NJ for 31 years and in Freehold, NJ for 4 years before that. I am the Jersey boy and the wife is from Brooklyn, N.Y. If I had it my way, I would have left NJ to go south where it is cheaper for homes, property insurance, car insurance, etc. But my kids are here.
Have plenty to do in the new house and with my train club, www. Ocsmr.com. See our thread under the announcements section on this forum. Very interesting to read through.
