Hello to everyone back in my home state of New Jersey!!  Been living here in the Pacific NW for nearly ten years now.  During this time I've been a fairly active hobbyist on the Portland and Seattle scene, but never (until hopefully, now hee-hee!) have I indulged in the Hobby on my home turf of northern NJ.

I have done a search of NJ providers in area code 973, where I'll be visiting shortly, and while the search engine returned 59 listings, I was surprised to find that nearly all of these provider listings are inactive, with the "Report New Website" prompt.  Was there some kind of big bust or raid, ala Big Doggie?

What gives here, my fellow hobbyists?  Is north-central Jersey now devoid of quality providers?  I'm looking to stay in the Parsippany-Totowa-Fairfield area if possible, but will go further for a provider with the right stuff!

I will be vacationing from mid-April through early May.  Any hobbyists who can share a little "inside info" will be hailed as a gentleman and a scholar, LOL!  And of course, if any enterprising provider would like to throw her hat in the ring...
