Much of what you read about life in our home state is just so much puffery.  There are however real human stories to be told, and not all of them are pretty.

Periodically, we'd like to show you what real people are really saying about life in the Peace Garden State.

Bear in mind we didn't produce these.  They are not puff pieces, or slick chamber-of-commerce travelogues.  If that's what you want, there are plenty of places where you can get that (i.e. just about every other media outlet in town).  Also, be aware that emotions sometimes run high in these clips and language-wise they're not always "safe for the office."

These are real people having real experiences.  This is their perspective.  The good and the bad - it's all here.  The rose colored glasses are off.

Having offered that caveat, let's delve in.  Watch one such story and feel free to comment...
