Whenever someone moves to NJ, from another state, their comments are always positive. They didn’t expect to see what they see because of the reputation from outsiders, or those who only saw that turnpike section.
I have to laugh at that NJ motto that once was seen as you came over the Delaware and into NJ. On the Tpke- “”welcome to NJ! You got a problem with that?””
Lol!
I was born in, and grew up in Mass. I married into NJ. When my Mother met my DH to be, she was surprised that he didn’t have an accent. The first time she visited, she couldn’t believe the nice areas she saw.
“On the Tpke- “”welcome to NJ! You got a problem with that?””
That’s funny!
I live in Washington state now. Coming in at the SW border from Idaho on rural road there is the “Welcome To Washington - the Evergreen State” sign.
From horizon to horizon all there is are low rolling hills with wheat!
