now out of them how many are from middlesex county....? bon jovi, tico torres, brittany murphy, and many many more....plus the first black man in the united states to vote, voted in perth amboy (middlesex county) nj and lived there as well
Left New Jersey in the 70's. Went back for three years, after ten years away, had my fill, left again for the next twenty. I guess you can like any place if you were born in it; I've noticed that all over the world. No surprise. Here's the rule: where I was born and raised is the best. A no-brainer really. Everybody knows that people who are any good in New Jersey leave it; that's why there are so many people FROM New Jersey. Not too many in it.
How about Anthony Bourdain, Carmel Quinn, Buddy Hackett, Sammy Davis Jr. all of Leonia, my home town? Mickey Rooney of Englewood? You're right, there are just too many famous people from our Garden State.
Hey Jen, Jack Nicholson went to Manasquan HS, Alan Alda has lived in Leonia for years and Brooke Shields went to school in Englewood and lived in Haworth at least into the mid 80s.
Very good job! It's incredible to see just the tip of the ice berg of New Jersey greats who have contributed to our nation and our American culture. Long live our Garden State!
i've been living here ( in NJ ) all my life.. WOOT u got the jonas brothers and ashley tisdale, and i think alan b. shepard.. I didnt know brooke shields lived here!!! I must say, new jersey is a great place, but i wanna live in cali. lol
There was nothing like being a kid growing up in the 90's in the suburbs of New Jersey with your friends and family living an hour or so away from the beach.
Born and raised in New Jersey I think your video is great. Especially, the Frank Sinatra music. Frank is special to me. My parents born and raised in Hoboken during the 1920's knew Frank.

People who are "any good" leave NJ?!?-
ARE YOU RETARDED? BECAUSE THAT STATEMENT's RIGHT OFF THE SHORT BUS!
WAKE UP!!-PEOPLE LEAVE NJ FOR 2 REASONS:
#1-THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE HERE..
#2-THEY CAN'T KEEP UP!
AND YOU KNOW IT
Glad you're not part of this great state anymore, the last thing we need is one more RETARD!
