Lots of mediums and psychic there for real.

I liked the post with the Google streetview linked.

I don't love NJ, but I don't hate it either. Silly posts.

But that’s the point. I was actually thinking about the counties this article talks about. Morris County is the 4th richest county in the nation according to this, and Morristown is a pretty gray, bleak-looking place, compared to most affluent towns. The downtown shops look like they haven’t been painted in 30 years. There are some pretty farms out there, but any of the towns are grim. Compare the “horse country” towns of NJ to Middleburg.


+1.

Oooh, agree. I went there on an ill-fated "vacation" once.


What was ill fated about the “vacation”?

Seaside, Oregon. Just a hellscape of horrible arcades (basically slot machines for 9 year old boys), gross food, and heroin addicts, and you feel like a tsunami is going to wipe you out at any second. My kid loved it, though.

Parts of Kansas City. It's getting better but it's still depressing even in the heart of the business district.

Are there people who have cursed the road? Probably.
