It's really a pretty neat state (I just like to get Jersey Jim going!). Actually, it is mostly suburban and diverse. We have a small winter sport season and a very famous shore (many Canadians visit Cape May). Where I am, it's very close to New York City.
Most people judge the state from the perspective of their travel down the NJ Turnpike---which is a very ugly ride!
Our problem has been the way the media presents us. The Sopranos certainly didn't help our image. Both the Super Bowl champs "New York" Giants and the "New York" Jets play in New Jersey---not New York!!!
BTW---ask Jersey Jim why he moved away from the Newark area to Toms River---
LOL!!!!
