Welcome.   I am from one of the NE states north of you (but used to live in Philly many moons ago).

Renewed bass player, eh?

One of those electric things with strings, I wager. If you do that to stay out of trouble, I can relate. I'm a low brass guy - been doing it for more years than I care to admit.

Welcome to the Cave, ONC. Good to have you on board.

turnoffs...public transportation...

Me too, and I work for the local version.

It's a job, and I have it.  Too many people can't say that in Michiganistan.

Welcome.  Try the pasties.  They're from the UP.

Can't eat them without catchup, Yummy Pasties love the buggers.

Thanks guys and gals for the welcome, the comments and questions.
In no particular order:

1.  Yes, NJ has some great outdoors.  We hide them from the NY'ers!
2.  Marscapone is just a funny cheese.  A comedic Philistine might go for gorgonzola, while cheddar and stilton take themselves much too seriously.
3.  How did I find this place?  Well, there's a bit of a situation going on at another site that's quite reminiscent to when Saddam brought all his officers into the auditorium and started calling out names.  I've pretty much had it with the purges.  I found Conservative Cave as a result an intense googling session.
4.  Marscapone, besides being a relative of Al Capone was one of Clam's Casino's mob.
5.  I've heard of pasties.  We have pasties in Jersey but they're not quite the same thing.

More to follow.

Anyone who likes fishing and REO Speedwagon can't be all bad.
And as far as the New Jersey outdoors is concerned, didn't anyone see the episode where Christopher and Paulie tried to dispose of the Russian in the woods? Or when Silvio did dispose of Adriana? Lots of wilderness in New Jersey.

:lmao: 1 of the best Sopranos episodes ever!

That was in the Pine Barrens which is in the Southern part of the State, the NW part of the State is where you have the Mountains and Lakes.

You speak as if you've been to "my peninsula"!  Central Jersey has some nice lakes and small rivers.

Unfortunately neither of those episodes were filmed in NJ -- they were filmed in NY because Jersey didn't want to be labeled an "organized crime" state  :lmao:  Apparently it's bad for our image here!  :rotf:  Nooooo, there's no bodies buried in those woods . . .

The woods shown in those episodes are a dead giveaway that it's not in NJ -- we have scrub oak and pine down here in the south and those trees were too big!  The poison ivy that Paulie picked up was dead on though  :-)

And pardon my bad manners, olde north church -- welcome to the Cave!!  As you can probably guess, I'm down in the Pine Barrens in South Jersey or down the Shore (on the weekends during warmer months).  Have fun here!

I live in the NW part of the State LOL, as for Central Jersey? we always end up on the Parkway going South so we tend to miss the Central part of the State, we're always along the Ocean.

Actually a large part if not most of the Sopranos was filmed in NJ, there was always a write up in our paper telling where filming was going on, and the Pine Barrens episode was filmed in I think Ocean County. I'm a huge Sopranos fan and at least a couple of times a week go past the gas station where Phil was killed in the final season, he was shot then his wife ran the SUV over his head, you can see the Barnes and Noble in the background.

I agree that most of the series was filmed in NJ but the episode entitled "Pine Barrens" was not -- it was filmed in Orange County, NY due to a conflict with South Mountain Reservation in Essex County so the shoot was moved to NY . . .

Hmm, they have it listed as being filmed in Birch Grove Park in Northfield NJ.

Thanks njpines for the warm welcome.  With the chill outside, every bit helps!  My hometown is actually where the northern reaches of the PB abuts what was farmland when I was growing up but shifted to strip malls and condos more recently.

BTW NJ Pines, apologies if I came across as a know it all, that really wasn't my intent, I'm just a huge fan of the show and have seen episodes so many times and did a lot of reading about each episode. So I apologize if that's how I came across.
