I moved to the Garden State from Alabama about six months ago. I know, this statement is the epitome of conversation starters.

Things are different here, obviously. But (mostly) in a good way. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of good about the deep South, from the hospitality and graciousness of the people to the ease of life and reasonable cost of living.
