I like old dead creepy seaside places. I guess thats why I like St Kilda too (or well - St Kilda how it was before the damn yuppies moved in and tarted up all the old dirty charm).

yeah the sopranos accent exists, but what i hear most of is a slightly jewishy northeasty variant on a standard american accent -- the way jon stewart speaks is exactly like most of my jersey friends speak.

More recently: it turns out to have surprisingly great places to go salsa dancing.
A lot of what Dan says is on the money.
I would seriously consider moving there.
x-post: Is there a Philly-Suburban accent? I wonder if I have it. I've moved around enough that I have a mixed accent, though it's clearly Philadelphia-centric, without necessarily being Philadelphian. I guess. I slip in and out of a real Philadelphia accent though.

princeton and trenton are roughly the dividing lines betwixt north and south jersey, for what it's worth. there are more than a few iggles fans in and around princeton.
newark's bark may be worse than its bite, but its bite can still be pretty bad. though REAL jerseyans know that newark ain't shit compared to camden -- camden is HARDCORE bad-ass.

the times DOES have this odd fascination with the place, don't they? at least once a year, they have some piece (in the Metro section) about what a hopeless hellhole it is. and it IS bad.

Maybe the desolation fills a craving for authenticity that New Yorkers have now that they've gentrified everything from the sewers up.

But if you want to come to the next Jersey City FAP (if there ever is one), the PATH is really easy to get to. If you live along the L, you just take it to 14th and 6th Ave, and the PATH is right there in the station. Takes like 10 minutes to get here from there.
JC is ok - it looks kind of like parts of Brooklyn. The area I live in (which is the "desirable" area now) is a mix of Cuban restaurants, Pakistani groceries, and gentry-fried cafes and clothing boutiques.
There's no music venue or bookstore or record shop to speak of, which sucks. Hoboken (also on the PATH) is right next door and has Tunes for records (which is somewhat meh) and Maxwell's, and there's a couple of book shops. It's already pretty much maxed out as far as redevelopment goes. I kind of hope Jersey City will be able to maintain more of a balance, if that's possible.
