The latest frost date I have had in central Jersey in the last 25 years was May 13.

PSA: Permethrin is HIGHLY TOXIC to CATS, FISH, and INSECTS. Spray your pants/shoes somewhere that will NOT get into the water supply or into a garden.

I looked at the website, and it states they are starting to send them out. Originally, it was May. It will come soon.

Only by folk who think that being fake polite is better than honesty
Edit: I grew up in the midwest and the southeast. Those people would rather cut than look at you if you don't adhere to their narrow world-view. The way I look at it Jersey people are dead honest. We are crowded, we are over-everythinged. We don't have time for fake polite bullshit. We are the corridor state. That which moves to the northeast and from it moves through NJ. Be focused or fuck off. We don't get to have time for anything but efficiency.

This is a zone where gentrification is required

I was leasing the car so far and I went to MVC to pay the annual registration for the car every year during the lease period. Do I still have to get new plates?

I feel like I've heard it a while ago originally. But I hate it because it's wildly inaccurate in my experience. But anyway, how do you define kind and nice. I don't feel there is much of a meaningful difference between the two.

There’s many old mansions like this in Jersey City, but people purchased and restored them right up. They’re so beautiful to behold.

Reply to Should I move to Newark? by MajesticBread9147
If you’d like to be by NYC. Union city, West New York, North Bergen & Guttenberg are reasonably priced, safe suburby cities with good transportation in NJ. You can get to Hoboken & Jersey City easy enough that have trendy bars & restaurants outside of NYC (the city).
Being that you don’t have a degree (yet) in this area you still have great opportunities to make good money with your choice how you want to navigate your career. If you do decide to go to college or even just certified you’d have lots of choices!
Not gonna lie would help if you speak at least survival Spanish in the towns I recommended. That being said, there is a vibe about NJ - you either love it or hate it. The joke a friend of mine that prefers Pennsylvania/Philly says they should put up a sign that says “Welcome to North Jersey, Fuck You 🖕🏻”. The good thing is once your here it’s easy to move elsewhere if you like it better or you find a solid job (i.e. deeper into Jersey, PA, CT or NY). It’s really up to you what you want your commute to look like.
Here are some management companies that you can find reasonable rent:
If you can go over $1000, these places are solid (usually heat is included + no realtor fee) including Jersey City area & you’ll have your own place (you can always upgrade as you make more money) https://www.goldberg-realty.com http://tulire.com/services/ https://parkstonerealty.com https://www.forrent.com/find/NJ/metro-NYC/West+New+York?sort=price_asc
To sell the area even further: -you have access to at least 3 airports -you’re within an hour to the beach, mountains, lakes, one of the biggest cities in the world (most amazing skyline) -you’re less than 2hrs from Philly, 4hrs from Boston & DC -you will get used to everything being within 10min (walking/public transpo/car) that you’ll be spoiled -you’ll get some of the best produce in the country, every town basically has a farmers market, but even your local ShopRite sources locally & you can’t beat the ethnic markets -there is literally every type of food within 30min -best sandwiches you’ll ever have
If you’re adventurous & social, you’ll love it.
Either way, best of luck!!

People hear the NJ accent and automatically assume rude people . It's worked in my favor before.

I'm from Oregon and to me people in NJ are more annoyed and generally upset and angry as a default mood, or maybe everyone is to some degree all over the country but It's more outwardly expressed in NJ than back in Oregon. Cashiers have no problem with showing attitude and straight showing that they hate their job, I mean, I don't blame them but it's not my fault. I am still nice to them.

I forget where I heard it- I don't know if it was a comedian or a random TikTok, but they described east coasters as not always nice, but always kind. Like we'll see someone with a flat tire and pull over to help them change it, but pick on them for not knowing. I thought that was more accurate than it should have been

Reply to Going on a date tomorrow near East Brunswick area and I am not very familiar with the area. What are some great restaurants/activities to do there? by abdul_bino
Gusto Grill and Aroogas. Edison Diner is really good too. There used to be this really good Italian place called the tomato factory but it’s been closed for years

NJ people just don't go out of their way to unnecessarily chat you up. No useless small talk. Everyone is busy, gainfully employed, on their way to something important. No one has the time to bullshit with you. This is not a bad thing. It's not rude. Everyone just has better things to do.
On the rare occasion, Jerseyites do decide to chat, it will be a worthwhile conversation, albeit brief.

Maybe I just don't see it because I don't get out enough, but I've lived here pretty much my entire life and I don't feel like there's any actual universal "new jersey" personality traits
