Given that it's Chris Christie land I understand that approach.

Cold winters, heavy-handed state, people who seem for the most part happy to live down to the stereotype ...

Yesterday is history.

One of my aunts used to live and teach high school there for about 60 years before retiring to Canada because of better health care. So you're preaching to the choir here.

Anything in the past is history.

I have no knowledge at all of NJ as I've never been there.

NY, however...

I have been there, although mainly in the 70ies and early 80ies. To visit my relatives. So no knowledge about the 90ies.

The one thing about NJ is that you can smell it before you can see it.

When I'm done writing this reply, the time I started it will be considered history - so, yes, 1995 qualifies. I was in the military during the 90's, but high school was fun during the 80's...I think. It's all a big blur. Any why New Jersey? It's not all that spectacular; I lived there for 35 years. If you ever visit, and want to see the nice part - stay on the southern end; unless you like metropolitan and smelly.
