Say something nice about New Jersey.

[shilala]

Tony Soprano lives there.

One of the best Public School systems in the nation. One of the wealthiest states in the nation. One of the best college values in the nation in College of New Jersey. One the best trama hospitals in the nation in Cooper Medical Center. We have Atlantic City . When other states were losing jobs during the rough times, still rough out there, NJ actually added jobs. We have big city living and gorgeous country living as well. I could go on, but when it comes to overall states, NJ is easily in the 6-7 in the country.

Yep, it's the losers that don't realize how nice of a state it is. The ones who haven't even been here to enjoy it.

 

[computeerrgghh]

NJ does have ass in its name...
And SJ is for hicks

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

I spent the summer in the country in southern NJ. It's lovely and hasn't changed in many many years. Farmland, cows and peaches.

I can say lots of good things for about a third of the state. Now up north...

 

[Ashen Shugar]

Well, the Southern/SouthWestern parts of NJ are great... rolling fields, forests, etc. Its almost a different state from the urban nightmare up north.

If it sucks so bad then please tell all your fellow Philly friends to stop coming here to vacation then.

please, don't even try to pull that one. Why don't south jersey people stop coming HERE for jobs, to watch sports, to go to bars/shows/be entertained?

The people who live in South Jersey and work in Philly prefer to live here. Your argument is weak, in every city in the world a huge percentage of the people that work in that city live in the suburbs surrounding the city.

Like I said before, the only thing you can bash NJ for is not having it's own identity.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I've never been to New Jersey before, but it has to be better than New Mexico.

Which I have said in the past. South Jersey wants to be Philly, North Jersey wants to be NYC. Now, this doesn't make it a BAD place, because hey those are some kick ass cities, but New Jersey residents talk the place up like they live in the greatest place in the world, when in reality they are just wannabes.

personally I am not a wannabe anything. I don't think I live in the greatest place in the world either. I think New Jersey, especially South Jersey, is a wonderful place to live. I get tired of all these people bashing this state, you are entitled to your opinion because at least you are familiar with the state living right next door in Philly. I hate people like the OP, who know nothing about New Jersey, bashing us. I could live in much worse of place, we have very safe areas here as well great school systems. The area I am in is historic with beautiful old homes, as well as great places to shop. The only downside is that we don't have an identity, the worst of that being we love our Philadelphia Eagles, so be it then.

* You know what a "jug handle" is.
* You know that a WaWa is a convenience store.
* You know that the state isn't all farmland.

* You know how to translate this conversation: "Jeet yet?" "No, Jew?"
* You only go to New York City for day trips, and you only call it "The City."

* You consider a corned beef sandwich with lettuce and mayo a sacrilege.
* In the 80's you wore your hair REALLY high.
* You don't think "What exit" (do you live near?) is very funny.
* You know that the real first "strip shopping center" in the country is Route 22.
* You know that people from 609 area code are "a little different."
* You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton - that's for out-of-staters.
* The Jets-Giants game has started fights at your school or local bar.
* You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.

btw, Gamerexpress, quit knocking North Jersey.

but, hey, it's great that most of you idiots buy the "reputation" of NJ. it keeps people like you out.

Dude North Jersey is what gives South Jersey a bad rep. I used to work in North Jersey, and well I must say it's pretty nasty. North Jersey does have some wonderful parts to it, the problem is the only parts people see is the area when traveling through the state.

Yo GamerExpress, where abouts in SJ are you from? I'm an SJ guy myself.

Medford, NJ.

Woah really? I pass by your place all the time going to Philly or my friends in Cherry Hill.

I'm in the Pine Barrens.

They only charge you $4 to get out once you get in.

that is soooo true.

nj is the only state i have ever been to that let's you in for free but makes you pay to get out.

 

[mpitts]

It's dangerously underpopulated.
