I can tell that you have never visited our beautiful state Ralph! The Garden State Parkway is one of the most attractive roadways in the country. Probably just as well there are so many Jersey jokes, because if more folks found out how wonderful it is here, we would be even more crowded than we already are.

BTW: There is so much more to New Jersey than the smelly oil refineries in Linden on the NJ Turnpike ... which is what most people remember when driving to and from Newark Airport! Our sandy seashore beaches from Sandy Hook to Cape May are some of the finest on the whole east coast. The mountains overlooking the Delaware Water Gap are breathtaking and the skiing in North Jersey is fantastic. Atlantic City is ... well, Atlantic City. .... but we've got a great Boardwalk!
