i'm in North Haledon, NJ - 20 mins from the GWB (with no traffic). It's nice here, rural and quiet, although P-Town (Patterson NJ, not Patteson NY) is about 15 mins away and it's not a nice place. I've only been there once and try to never visit.

There's awesome hiking here, great views of the city, and lots of ridiculously rich people. Come on, do you REALLY need 2 BMW 645ci's? No, you don't. Get a nice accord and stop whining about your $650/month car payment. And while we're at it, don't buy your kid a WRX STi just because he wants one.

Also - I'm pretty sure I live within 20 mins of 14 malls. Ready? Garden State, Paramus Park, Fashion Center, Willowbrook, Wayne Town Center, Bergen Mall, Palisades, Nanuet Mall, Riverside Square, and if you drive fast, Woodbury Commons. I like Marshalls and TJ Maxx though :)
