Back in NJ
One thing New Jerseyans have perfected is the art of the 24-hour store. Rolling into town at one o'clock in the morning, we spied a Starbucks packed with people. Not only are these Garden Staters out at one in the morning, they're drinking coffee in anticipation of being up for a while. That's hardcore.
By contrast, the entire state of Vermont goes to bed promptly at 8:15.
