Originally a "Down-Necker" myself, we relocated to Nutley. It was heavily Italian at the time, but has thinned considerably. Mom and Dad finally left there last year. I didn't get back often, but the dilution was, well, obvious...ALL the signs are in English, and Spanish is on them now...vj wrote: New Jersey
