I had the best of both worlds being born and raised for part of my life in Jersey then moving to southern California. When I wasn't in school then I was living with my grandparents in Jersey splitting my time in Cliffside and at our place down the shore near Asbury Park when Asbury was a NICE neighborhood. My Uncles were regulars at the track and AC so I'd be down there too. I would always make someone take me into the city (NYC) usually my godfather because I just loved it there. I hated to go back to CA since I always felt like Jersey was my HOME and still do.

(Being around my grandparents and the older aunts and uncles I learned to speak some Italian and how to cook and got to hear about all our family from Naples and of course the hoodlums in our neighborhood) That's probably why I love this site so much, I like hearing all these stories.
