p> WHAT DID DELAWARE? br> Re: Lawrence Henry's New Jersey Gets a Bad Rap : /p> p>I was born and raised in New Jersey, but moved away after my college years. Whenever people from other parts of the country found out I was from New Jersey, I would hear one of the following: (1) "Oh Yeah, what exit?" or (2) "I hear New Joisey is lovely." I would smile politely, knowing that New Jersey was America's best kept secret, and moved back as soon as I could. Now, Lawrence Henry has blown New Jersey's undercover status. Hopefully, we won't have hordes of Midwesterners, or even worse, Manhattanites, descending upon us as a result of Mr. Henry's article. I agree with everything he wrote. I just wish he had kept the secret amongst us New Jerseyans. br> -- Sean K. Smith br> Edison, NJ /p>

Lawrence Henry replies: The Manhattanites (and Brooklynites) are already coming, and at an even faster pace since September 11. The Midwesterners, I don't think we have to worry about, with more and more big companies realizing that, say, Sioux Falls or Omaha is a great place to headquarter. I hope I did provide some comfort, though, for people who may find themselves undergoing a forced relocation, as we did, and whose initial reaction may be, "Oh, no! New Jersey?"
