I have been through New Jersey a few times, visited AC but I also lived there for a while a couple of times. In 1965 I spent the winter in Cape May being hollared at by professionals (USCG boot camp) and I did an extended stay in Elizabeth (Tony Soprano land) in winter/spring 72 with IBM, commuting to 2 Penn Plaza on Amtrak. It is an interesting place but a little cold for me. I understand if you get out in the country it is more like Pennsylvania or central New York.
