NJ is really two states, the northern part, a large section of which is a bedroom community for NYC, housing upscale areas like Princeton and Alpine, and universities like Princeton and Rutgers, and the southern part that is more blue collar - agricultural, tourism in its beach communities.

We used to live in California, and it really is three states - North, Central and South.
