Un-fucking-doubtedly.

-fucking- being the most popular form used in New Jersey.

But what about albeit?

Where in NJ are you from, Herr Doktor?

Grew up in Central-West Jersey, small town called Flemington. Famous for lots of shopping outlets and the Lindbergh/Hauptman (sp?) trial.

Was the baby found there, or was that the site of the kidnapping?

Ah, been there a couple times. It's about 40 minutes from me. Normally, Bridgewater is as close as I get.

There are no small towns in Jersey anymore.

Lucky, it was the sight of the trial, I can't remember where the Lindbergh's were from, but not Flemington, I don't think.

LOL, very true, freaking tourist/shoppers over-motherfucking-run it every weekend, and they're developing every square inch of what used to be farmland... it's too bad. Bridgewater's the closest big mall, so I've spent enough time up there, only about 15-20 minutes north.

Don't correct me if I'm mistaken, but wasn't the baby found along a road within a few miles of or even closer to the house, i.e., the site of the abduction?

Lindbergh lived in Hopewell, NJ. I am guessing that Mad Scientist's town is the county seat. Yes, the baby was found 2 miles from the house.

Not really sure anymore... but, back in the day, Flemington used to be a pretty important city because it's pretty much equidistant between Philly and NYC. So it's possible that due to the high profile of the case that a more major city was desirable... not really sure though.

Hmm, I think Hopewell is closer to Philadelphia than NYC...and Flemington's importance was erased with the opening of the Turnpike - a nice, straight road between NYC and Philly. And expensive. I think to go one end to the other (which is actually Delaware) costs about 6 dollars now, for a 120 mile trip.

Of course, that just gets you to the bridges to NYC. They cost 8 dollars (I think) now.

I like to think Flemington's importance was erased because there's not a goddamn thing going on around that town. Everything's closed by like 10pm except for Dunkin Donuts and Wendys... and Wendys is new.
