My hometown is Staten Island, NY. I hate it, and always will.

I will always consider where I live now, in Central Jersey, my hometown. Granted, I'm not in love with there area, but I do prefer it to NY.

What I do like about it:
-All my friends live here.
-Only about an hour and a half from NYC.
-Good Commute to alot of areas and attractions.
-Very Very safe.
-Close to the beach/boardwalk.
-Not totally out in the boonies, but not completely "city-like" either.
-Great GREAT park system!
