The New Jersey shore of Amsbury, NJ is not the Seaside Heights version that was broadcasted over MTV while in high school. I jumped the train across the border to visit a friend/mentor of mine who now resides in the town. The entire area projected an Americana style - flags both American and rainbow hung proudly over white washed porches, lawns were tailored, and the flowers in bloom. With the sun high overhead the day was only lacking in fireworks to create a good old American summer afternoon. We strolled the boardwalk and I saw the Stone Pony - the dive bar where Bruce Springstein got his start. Good company, good conversation, and good food completed the American way. Don't believe CNN. Especially don't believe FOX. I have flown from west coast to east coast back down to the 3rd coast and the people of this country reassure me that our way of life is still in tact - it has just on the whole Changed for the better.
