That's a cool connection you have there to Sinatra, tomwed.
And you're NOTHING but right about the cost of living in that part of New Jersey. My son would love to get a job up that way so he could be closer to NYC, but he knows he would never be able to afford it without the additional income he makes on rentals plus his job.
