Anonymous Coward User ID: 83452693 United States 11/03/2022 03:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No love for New Jersey on either list? Whaddaya mean? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84634806 Cons: Property taxes are high. 6.9% sales tax. State income tax. Highest population density. Terrible gun laws. Traffic can be very heavy. Inner cities are no-go zones for outsiders (but not for true Jerseyans - we go anywhere we want). Pros: Friendly, helpful people (most are, believe it or not) with a live-and-let-live attitude. Best pizza and Italian-American food in the world. Beautiful countryside once outside of the cities. Police are well-paid, professional and courteous. Hospitals are arguably the best in the nation. You can get literally anything sold at retail. No sales tax on food or clothing. The Jersey Shore. Car culture still lives here. You yokels can hate on us all you want, but you’ll never be from Jersey. I pity you. I've had good, and humorous times in NJ. Ya'll have great sweet corn and tomatoes. The people seemed good natured enough. I think how people react to you is sometimes based on how you carry yourself. I mostly am treated very well. I've lived all over the USA. I was able to be or gain professional success in Massachusetts and their Autumns are the most beautiful in the world I think, especially the western part of the state. But they are rude people and dangerous on the road. Maine and Minnesota were not pleasant living experiences for me. Minnesota people are fake nice imo. Mainers are just not nice. At least the genetic heritage of Minnesota helps with getting through the winters - those people play in the cold. In Maine - those people - not a fan. The weather is just a lot of the year spent in seasonal depression. I lived in the Seattle area of Washington and when it's not raining it's the most beautiful place, I've ever laid eyes on. I am in Florida now and people will gush on about how beautiful Maine is, to that I reply that Washington state is a hold my beer kind of place for beauty. I spent a lot of time in my career in Oklahoma, and I do sincerely like those people out there. But the terrane is not for me. The ice storms are something else, far worse than the big snow dump states I've lived in. I am in Florida again, sometimes I get an itch for the West but mostly anytime I am out of Florida I am homesick for it. We have our problems. Its exploding in growth again. But something in me just feels so at home in the Northern part of this state. I recently spent some time in South Carolina again and it reminds me that state has much to offer certain types - might not be the bees knees for all - but it has its charms. |

User ID: 80390441 United States 11/03/2022 04:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey Beeches, did you ever listen to WOWO Ft Wayne late at night while you were stoned? No, is that station still around? have you ever heard of Ghoulardi who was on local tv and radio out of Cleveland? that was my area back when, Akron too, for radio Ghoulardi was the funniest radio character ever - inna stoned kind of way: At his show's peak, Ghoulardi scored 70 percent of the late-night audience.Fans sent up to 1,000 pieces of mail a day.The Cleveland Police Department attributed a 35 percent decline in juvenile crime to the Friday night show. Anderson quipped, "Nobody likes to steal the car in a blizzard." Ghoulardi often made fun of targets he considered "unhip", including bandleader Lawrence Welk, Mayor of Cleveland Ralph Locher, and Cleveland local television personalities such as singer/local talk show host Mike Douglas, children's hosts Barnaby and Captain Penny, local newscaster Bill Jorgensen, and news analyst and commentator Dorothy Fuldheim (whom he called "Dorothy Baby"). According to Anderson, Mike Douglas refused to book Anderson as a guest on his talk show The Mike Douglas Show after it began nationwide broadcasting, and also refused to speak to Anderson for years (though Douglas denied any animosity). Ghoulardi also lampooned the bedroom communities of Parma, Ohio, which he often called "Par-ma?!" or "Amrap" (Parma backwards), and Oxnard, California, saying "Remember...Oxnard!" and featuring a raven named "Oxnard" on his show. Ghoulardi unmercifully jeered Parma for what he considered its conservative, ethnic, working-class "white socks" sensibility, making fun of such local customs as listening to polka music and decorating front lawns with pink plastic flamingoes and yard globe ornaments. The Ghoulardi program even aired a series of taped skits called "Parma Place", featuring Anderson and Schodowski playing stereotypical ethnic Parma residents in a parody of the then-popular prime time soap opera Peyton Place. While the "Parma Place" skits were well received by the public, the mayor of Parma and other local politicians complained to station management, especially after learning that the spectators at a Parma vs. Parma Heights high school basketball game had thrown white socks onto the court. Under pressure, the station forced Anderson to discontinue the "Parma Place" skits. Anderson openly battled TV-8 management. Schodowski recalled that "station management lived in daily fear as to what he might say or do on the air, because he was live." In spite of his solid ratings and profitability, they worried that Ghoulardi was testing too many television boundaries too quickly, and tried to rein in the character. Anderson responded by, among other things, detonating plastic action figures and plastic model cars sent in by viewers with firecrackers and small explosives on air, once nearly setting the studio on fire. As Anderson was already under contract with TV-8 as a booth announcer when Ghoulardi first aired, Storer Broadcasting had to pay him, so Anderson cared little about whom he offended. Anderson was also reprimanded for riding his motorcycle through the program director's office, and for staying at a close, late-running Friday night Cleveland Browns game long after his show's 11:30 p.m. start time. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] I don't know if it's still on the air or not. When I was much younger, My stoner buddies and I would get high and tune it in late at night. It was hilarious. I moved away from there back in the late 80's and I don't hang with that crowd any more. You're probably not old enough to have heard it. |

User ID: 15050784 United States 11/05/2022 11:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | in the first video Colorado is #12 on states people regret moving to and #4 on states that people never regret moving to, so I don’t know how much credence I put in this information. BTW I live in western Colorado and I have never regretted moving here. Small towns, nice people, scenic splendor and unlimited recreational opportunities. I miss the ocean though. |
