Montecelo NY, and Naugatuck CT. (X's)
I simply had two cars stolen in Jersey when I was a kid, and one Special Forces type husband ( John Coffee / Green Mile big) express his feelings to me in Cherry Hill.
That stuff, and we used to play in the Meadowland's before the stadium, and Hoffa's new "home" were built. We used to look for gangster guns... I think you understand some of what we would find.
Then there is the 95 corridor, (near the GWB) and of course Atlantic City...
Jersey has never been good for me.
