I made a comment to my girlfriend just yesterday! I noted that there aren't as plastic bags on the roadsides. I noticed in my region, litter is not nearly as abundant pre-bag ban. Just goes to show, a substantial portion of the NJ population will fight against their best interests. Glad the State government isn't caving to these folks.

I just moved outside of Flemington about 4 years ago to raise my kids here. Hunterdon really does fall in its own little category in NJ.

If you're looking for a family friendly place to raise kids, this is a great place to be. There's a ton of events, farms parks, places within 30-40 minutes for younger kids. Adults and teens though, I mean its kind of dull here, unless you like it that way.

I don't understand what people are talking about when they mention traffic up here. Literally anywhere else in the state south or east has more traffic. I've lived all around and .. Flemington is not bad.

For you right now, there's a bunch of good breweries, there's good local food and farmers markets, but anything other than american classic food is gonna be not great compared to anywhere else in the state. Still only found two good pizza places, and that's stretching it.

Its also very red here. Some blue speckled here and there, but you're gonna see Trump shit all day everywhere you go.

If you're looking for any other specifics like an area in particular feel free to DM me, I've been doing my best to explore the county since we moved and I mean, I like it a lot. Its way better than South Jersey. But many places are.
