I'm an East Coast trucker,...I did 90% of my trucking this side of the Mississippi........The only..."beautiful"....areas here are some isolated rural spots,.......
And some sparsely-populated rural mountain valleys in W. Va,........if you didn't mind all the abandoned cars and refrigerators at the bottom of the valleys....
Northern New Jersey is the very antithesis of a...."pretty"....place.....It's ...pretty awful,....in both a visual and aural sense.....
........and the denizens of that.....environment don't make it any better.......I'm surprised that most people aren't carrying their .....excess attitude ..in a wheelbarrow........
......And then there's New York City..........."Cultural Capital of the World..."...............no,...it's the dog sh*t and broken glass capital of the world.......at least, for those of us out of the "tourist areas"....that had to work there.....
First time into Hunt's Point, off the Major Deegan,....I made the mistake of stopping at lights and driving slowly to the market entrance........Load of boxed meat for Schaeffer,....friend of mine was sick and asked me to deliver it for him......
......Trailer doors were swinging wide open by the time I got into the Market..........
I always said if they raised the water level about 10 foot on the Hudson river,........it would be a vast improvement........Drown a lot of rats......and stock brokers.......
