Ah, the good old days when I used to either drive or take SEPTA from Bucks County to Trenton, then hop on a NJ Transit train to Penn Station. Every Monday through Friday. For me it was a total drag, but there were people on the train that did it every working day for years. On Friday evenings several groups would flip the NJ Transit bench seats so they faced each other, the playing cards would come out, beer cans would be opened and they seemed to have a grand old time.
Curiously absent from the criteria for "Best Places" is weather. Wisconsin and Michigan winters are not for everyone. And parts of Rochester New York get an average of 10 feet of snow each winter. Of course with global warming those places are becoming more temperate, just as many areas of Florida will be lost to rising sea levels and increased hurricane activity.
Maybe Trenton is so bad after all.
