    I live in Rockland county NY. I feel we are more geographically and socially more NJ than NJ for a few reasons.

    [] We are isolated from the rest of NYS by a large park on one side and a wide river on the other - but connect directly to Montvale, Northvale, and Mahwah.

    [] Our suburban spawl visually resembles Bergen more than Westchester or Orange.

    [] Our mass transit to NYC is the NJTransit trains.

    [] Great big malls.

    [] We both have the PIP and GSP.

    [] We have Ramapo, you have Lakewood.

    Anyone have thoughts on this?

      We would be happy to have Rockland County join NJ! My first beers sitting at a bar was at the Orangeburg Pub when I was 17, back in 1979!

      Now, if you could convince your governor to let you secede, we’re in business!
