In Jersey,. how you feel about our recent blizzard depends upon where you live, where you park your car, how you get to work, & maybe how long you can hold out until you have to get to the supermarket.
The biggest complaints are from Jersey City with its traditionally unresponsive city government, a wide variety of neighborhoods & economic levels, narrow streets, steep hills, & heavy reliance on public transit.
One Hoboken resident noted that Starbuck's was closed Monday but Dunkin' Donuts remained open. There's the difference between a "barista" & a "counter girl." My guess is that the D.D.s in Elizabeth were open & did good business from cops, EMTs, firefighters, DPW plow drivers, county jail guards, & hospital employees.
