Yeah NJ mostly became a meme because New Yorkers and Philadelphians love to make fun of it despite coming to our beaches in the summers in droves. The Jersey Shore show didn’t help with our image, but again, 3/4 of the people on that show are out of staters. NJ had no more of a mob problem than NY or Philly, and most of the mob has been neutered across the board. Government corruption still very much a problem in the state though.
There’s lots of nice places to live that are relatively easy to get into Manhattan from along the Hudson. Hoboken is my favorite.
Ugh the Jersey Shore people never felt like real people, the show obviously found some of the worst around lol. What the hell is a Snooki even
One of the actual New Jerseyans, unfortunately. Well, she grew up here at least. She does falsely claim to be from NY though so they can have her
I meant more that they obviously found people who are caricatures rather than... Well... Real people.
