Ah, newark! Don't let my BF hear you say it isn't that bad! He went to college there and he said if you stepped one step off of campus that you were likely to be shot! There was a homeless man that lived under the porch of his fraternity house. But the area I live in is nothing like that, I am more overly developed subarbs, and it isn't too bad i guess. I am not the New York area, I am closer to Philadelphia, it is only about 15-20 minutes away. But in the news yesterday they released the most dangerous city in the US, Camden, NJ ! That is like 10 minutes or less from where I live, it used to be #3 on the list.
Yummmmm.... vegetarian restaraunts... Silly thing is that I am going to school to be an accountant, so if I go much further I will have to stay put, as certifications vary. Kinda like you being the Irish lawyer out here I would be the US accountant in Ireland I do not know too much about it, it probably isn't too different
You must be lonely out there always strying to convince us US gals to move out to you! Or are you a real estate agent undercover?
