Well, I know that there was a lot of dumping going on in Pompton Lakes, NJ by the DuPont plant that closed (I lived one town over in Oakland and my father-in-law used to work for DuPont years ago).
Now, we live in beautiful, rustic Sussex County. We live in a condo, so we don't really have a back yard, just a tiny little garden that we're not allowed to plant. Part of our monthly maintenaince goes to a landscaper that does very little but mow and snow removal. We have bent the rules a little and planted tulips on occasion, but they never seem to bloom after that first year. My hubby and I were both born with purple thumbs...
Most of Sussex County looks just like ML's description...and that's the way we like it!
