My expertise growing up in kearny was honestly quite interesting, although yes there have been many many negatives there are so many more positives. For example, kearny is a very small town which means not being able to do much here, but it being small I am blesses to be close and or in someway known by almost everyone I meet. Everywhere I go in kearny I run into someone I know, which I enjoy because I never feel like an outsider.
Kearny is a pretty average town. It's right next to NYC so the commute there is easy and a lot of people here have jobs there. The taxes are too high though and some people here are unpleasant but it's a nice place, I grew up here and am going to graduate from high school next year, and am satisfied.
