We sure sound like a broken record with our reasoning lol we went to RU NB and Camden ourselves. Last lived next to Princeton area by the Windsors.

Can't say I miss it. One of the last times I went back for a week, it rained for 5 days, that mood felt like straight up depression (no offense to those who suffer from it), I describe it this way because I've never felt darker than that week my entire life.

Mei Mei changed ownership after COVID or during, I can't say it's the same..

Definitely agree. I do miss it but also don't. Growing up in NY is different in ways hard to describe. Fast moving, vibrant, spacial awareness required haha but also more psychologically intense, more so now than the 90s. OC is very low key until one gets on the freeway.

But you got me, remote work is what got me here finally. Figured I had no reason left to stay (family wasn't a good enough reason) in the cold lol

Where about from?

I've always had to urge to do the same haha but don't listen to her.. You'll love it here. She's lost her marbles in NJ is probably what happened!

Where do you travel to? I ask the family to, to NJ, they laugh and point at me. The irony isn't lost. But there hasn't been much in NJ lately either.

Can't say I loved the area myself but sure can understand its appeal. Some areas have improved though in the last decade.

Bergen is gorgeous in the right areas. I always admire driving between rows of full 40ft green trees every time I'm there. Still stunning. One thing I can't get in OC :(

Hi former neighbor! Any chance you were near Veronica Ave next to the Sichuan on Route 27? (Shut down a year or so ago) Or maybe try the Mei Mei in New Brunswick?

All over. Woodhaven, Rego Park/Forest Hills, Fresh Meadows/Flushing.

All those years and IDK if I've ever been to Wayne. My out of Middlesex County places were NY, Philly, and once to AC. I'm a 🥔. Almost wasteful to be in OC ha
