The place to check out in NJ is Kearney, which has a large (for lack of
a better term) Scottish ghetto. It contains a strip of Scottish import
stores, butcher shops and restaurants with names like Stewart, Argyle,
and Cameron. They have (ironically enough) the second largest Saint
Patrick's Day Parade on the East Coast, after New York City, and they
have it on some day _other_ than March 17th, so the people can attend
both parades. Which is ironic considering they're Scots, but then since
they're Scots and not Picts, they would have some degree of Irish
ancestry no matter how you slice the haggis.
 
Adamantius, always confused by bagpipers in kilts playing "Scotland the
Brave" on Saint Patrick's Day
