I had a girlfriend from Secaucus for awhile. She wrecked her knee in the gymnastic Olympic trials. My experience with NJ was nothing but pleasant, though I've never been there.

Hmm.. well as long as you didn't have anything to do with her knee problems. LOL

And what's so bad about Camden?

You must not have ever been there!

I threw a little eye roll in there for sarcasm!

Yeah, I saw it. Camden makes Newark look like Paris by comparison. By the way, the Newark Museum is a hidden gem. It has an incredible collection of East Asian art, including a Tibetan altar consecrated by the Dalai Lama himself, and adjoining the Museum is Ballantine House, a Victorian mansion with, of course, Victorian-era furniture. Well worth a visit. Then, there's the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and Newark Symphony Hall, and in Newark's Ironbound section there are many fine Spanish/Portuguese and Brazilian restaurants . . . the best, in my opinion, is the Spanish Tavern. And in the Spring, all the cherry blossom trees in Branch Brook Park are in full bloom. My parents' wedding pictures were taken in Branch Brook Park -- they were married in late April, so it was the right time of year. My Uncle Raymond, from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was the photographer. Weequahic Park, on the south side, has one of New Jersey's finest golf greens. The historic Evergreen Cemetery, located where Newark, Elizabeth, and Hillside meet, has some incredible monuments, mausoleums, and fine landscaping (again, Spring is the best time of year to see it in its full glory).

Growing up with acne, I started experimenting with different diets to alleviate the issue.

Welcome.
This was my #1 remedy. STOP washing your face. Literally. Not a single drop of soap hits my face, only water. Since then, I've cut 95% of my acne.

For your dip and chew, look into Burleys.

 

[workhorse_01]

For acne my children use zest soap it leaves their faces squeaky clean and tightens their skin. Their blackheads literally are hanging out of the skin at least the tips. Then my wife and I put beori'e strips on them and out they come.

Acne's something I've found to be pretty interesting. It's one of the body's many ways of expelling whatever junk is in it. Cool stuff.

I assume you meant Newark. Were you, by any chance, driving on Frelinghuysen Avenue?

South street across 78 from airport

 

[winston-smoker]

That explains it . . . I was wondering if it could have been near the seaport, but near the airport be pretty much the same thing, a lot of industrial properties.
