Yeah you could easily get them made on a machine at the boardwalk
Zoltar? He made mine for me.
"I wish I was big!"

"You're now Anthony Moriano, a 42 year old barber from Passaic. Enjoy!"
Not to be reductionist, but as a fellow NJ alum, my assumption was entirely that everyone conjures the image in their head of the factories and general urban decay you encounter as soon as you cross the Delaware memorial. You're then accosted by the east coast autobahn terrordome that is the NJT until you gtfo.
I get it, but it was unironically named the Garden State because it was once apart of the bread basket of the first 13, and it's honestly quite verdant and pleasant throughout.
Again though, I get it.
I can say that I'm guilty of this and was pleasantly surprised when I visited for a few days during a work trip some years ago.
That said, I did fly into Newark so y'all still had some explaining to do. Yes I know about the remodel, but it wasn't done when I was there so that doesn't count 😛
I make the East Coast round trip drive about twice a year, and your description of the southbound trip out of NYC is bang on accurate.
I feel like the popular conception of Jersey is Newark and the Sopranos and nothing in between
I'm visiting NJ for the first time through a work trip this week.
Reminds me just as much as Massachusetts or Maine. Lots of greenery, and definitely not as bad as maybe I thought going in
I lived in NJ. AMA.
Why?
Explain yourself!
Ameriga exblain
I lived across the river of NYC without paying the NYC rent prices.
NJ's shores are nice. Good malls too.
(Limited exceptions.)
The obvious question is Taylor ham or pork roll?
Gabaghoul
Taylor ham.
The only correct answer
Brand worship that pork, baby!
It’s pork roll.
Let the battle begin!
Pork roll.
Pork roll. I will die on this hill.
I admire the commitment. We can meet at a Wawa and find a nearby hill where we can battle this out
Sure, that way I can get a pork roll, egg, and cheese Sizzli to fuel me before I go Trenton on your ass
What is a pork roll?
It's pretty much a staple in the New Jersey food landscape and for good reason.
Admittedly, as the best state in America, there is very little reason for us to leave. But we do still like to travel, just like the folks in the lesser states. We shouldn't be deified like this.
I love my state, but I leave because it's way cheaper to vacation somewhere else!
That's actually the key, this was posted in a NJ hotel. (it's old Reddit but i was there when the bombs dropped)
They're worried about locals renting a room to defile trying to keep stuff out of their house.
The true strange part is why this was in Kentucky
/joking
Those New Jerseyans know what they did.
Ain’t nothing but a heartache.
As a proud New Jerseyan, I offer a hearty fuck you to whoever made this lameass sign.
Why
Well first of all, that's the standard greeting in New Jersey
Hey fellow New Jersian; fuck you too!
The best part, is it was a New Jerseyan that made it.
Trying to keep people from renting local hotel rooms for nefarious or dirty things.
For someone not in the US: what kind of shop is that, and why is it banning people from NJ?
It’s a “shop” if you mean it’s short for “photoshop”. It is not a real thing, only a joke. There would be no reason, we just have lighthearted rivalries between states.
Ah, OK.
My guess would be some sort of government service or charity whose funding is state related but is close to a border with another state.
They can probably serve out of state people but are not set up for it.
That, or New Jersey still has laughable IDs that are essentially laminated paper. The US is weirdly stuck in the past that way. Only recently have their IDs started to resemble ones from 30 years ago in Canada.
For a second I thought that was OJ lol
Really we have to ask what a wookie was doing on Endor?
