I couldn't stop laughing because I also thought this was about the state.
Up until I was about 5 or 6 years old, I thought New Jersey was a city in New York.
My family used to spend time every summer at Seaside Heights. I miss it so much.

Sucks.
Most [eastern] Pennsylvanians agree on this. Its like a Californian atmosphere to New Jersey-ites and they treat it very close.

DAMN i thought this thread was about the state. Yea that topic probably has more legs. So what does everyone think about the state of New Jersey. I HATE IT. (no offense to anyone living there) I used to work in a information (411) call center and everyone, and I do mean everyone from New Jersey was: a)rude b)hard to understand and/or cut off since they were on a cell phone and refused (rudely) to repeat themselves c)refused to turn music down in background so that they could be understood d)swore and swore and swore. Jersey is pretty much the reason I quit working there. There are only so many times you can be called an asshole in an hour before you start to take it personal. Actually, I hate Florida too (once again, no offense to those living there--I've been to Disney World, nice place) This is how NEARLY every conversation started I had when someone called from Florida: Me: City and State please? Caller: Florida. Me: City AND State please? Caller: Florida. Me: (agitated sigh) What city in Florida? Caller: Florida. Me: OK, I have the city of "Flor" in the state of "Duh". Is that correct? Florida: What, ughh no...I mean Miami. Actually, I hate lots of people from everywhere. One of the most frustrating things working for a 411 service was when someone called and gave you an oddly-named city and you had no idea how to spell it, so you would ask them and they'd say: Caller: What are you, stupid? It's the city I'm in, the one I live in. @&@(*$& you stupid @$)#$. Me: Well sir, I know how to spell the name of the city I live in so whose really the stupid one here--you or me? (they usually hung up here, or they'd get mad and I'd transfer them to a supervisor)

(they usually hung up here, or they'd get mad and I'd transfer them to a supervisor) I should add to all of this too, how much I hated it when people called for a city and wouldn't give a state... Me: City and State please? Caller: Smithtown. Me: City AND state please? Caller: Smithtown. Me: I'm sorry, what State is Smithtown in mam? Caller: Ummm...I don't know. Me: Ok, well I need you to pick one mam. Caller: I don't understand I just want Smithtown. Me: Ok...California, Texas, Maine, Washington, Missourri. These are examples of states mam. I need you to pick one. You have 50 to choose from. Caller: Oh, um, Smithtown, Iowa. or, my all-time favorite conversation ever when I worked at the call center Me: City and State please? Caller: Manhattan, NY Me: Alright, mam, How can I help you today in Manhattan, NY? Caller: I need Dr. Smith? Me: Ok, do you know the Dr.'s first name? Caller: No, he's a Dr. Me: Right, I understand that mam. Is he a Dr. in a private practice or at like say a hospital maybe? Caller: I don't know. His name is Dr. Smith. Me: Do you by chance know the cross-streets Dr. Smith is located at mam? Caller: No. Me: Hmm, that is Smith spelled S-M-I-T-H correct? Caller: Yes, Dr. Smith, he is my doctor, I go to him every day, EVERY DAY! WHY CAN"T YOU FIND HIM?! Me: I am trying mam, let me ask me question. Do you know what kind of Dr. he is? I can do a search for him by the type of doctor he is if you will tell me. Caller: I don't know what kind of doctor he is. This is ridiculous. Are an idiot, I want Dr. Smith, he's located somewhere in Manhattan. How stupid are you? Me: Alright, mam, let's take a second here. You have called me asking for a Dr. Smith, who is located somewhere in Manhattan. You don't know which kind of doctor he is, which by the way mam, has me concerned that you're seeing him on a daily basis and you don't appear to know what for, You don't his first name, you don't know if he is in private practice or works at a major medical facility, you don't even know where he is located, so I'm also concerned how you get to this doctor mam, and you go to his office everyday and you don't have his phone number, but you have mine, you have information's. Do you know how many Dr. Smith's there are in a 10 mile radius of Manhattan, mam? over 300--the best I can do for you is to pick one at random and connect you, would you like for me to do that? Caller: No, this is ridiculous, ridiculous! I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR IMMEDIATELY. Me: One moment while I transfer you-- I have no idea if they had any better luck than I did, no one ever told me. But that lady takes the cake for idiots that I talked to on the phone.

My father has friends in New Jersey and we visited them. Lived in a big house with a huge backyard. Air still smelled but it sure looked nice.

Man every time I've ever driven through Jersey it always seems like one big train yard, garbage dump, closed factory and coal plant.
