The cost of living was the main reason we moved to Atlanta. The cost of a house here is almost exactly HALF of that in Jersey. You can get a house selling for 300 grand there for 150 here, and your taxes will probably be only $1-2,000!<BR/><BR/>But boy, DO I miss the shore. We're so far inland it takes three hours to get to the ocean. I used to just hop in the car at be at Point Pleasant beach in 45 minutes.<BR/><BR/>That's the truth about the tomatoes. There's nothing like a Jersey beefsteak tomato.<BR/><BR/>Believe it or not, I miss the diners too. All of them aren't good, but there are some that have incredible food, like Sherban's in South Plainfield and the Warinaco Diner in Linden. <BR/><BR/>Oh, well.
