Lily and I have talked about how long we would stay in Jersey City. I grew up on two acres of land, and I have thought about eventually moving to a rural setting.

We were here for a long weekend. We really liked the neighborhood and people who owned the building.

My girlfriend got a job and I wanted to be in the international non-profit field.

A lot of people don't know, but New Jersey has, like, 700,000 acres of farmland.

I was born in New York City but grew up across the Hudson River in Alpine, New Jersey.

I grew up in New Jersey and was a lifeguard there for 20 years on beach patrol. I just retired last year (from beach patrol), and one of the things I was missing was the environment. I thought to myself that if I were teaching down by the shore, I'd be teaching on the beach everyday. How can I pull that off here? Then, I realized how close Nine Mile Run is to our school.
