Kind of... I really thought there was a Scranton NJ. Turns out it's in Penn. I'm geographically retarded though.

It's as though the entire state is one big suburb where people are envious of the city they live kind-of-close to. I find suburban culture to be utterly repulsive for a variety of reasons, so - yeah - I've quite the negative opinion of the state.

You don't have to like my state. I just don't understand that. I'm guessing you live in a major city the way your statement about suburban areas went. I'm not envious of NYC. I live in a town and area that has a population of 7,000 people. There are towns ten minutes away that has people that don't know where I live. I mention my elation to NYC because it gives people an idea of where I'm at geographically. That's what people who live in unknown little towns do. You can have as many negative albeit misunderstood opinions about New Jersey as you want but that particular one should be changed.

I thought you all just identify the numbers of your I-95 exits.

I've never known anybody that does that. Ever. That **** belongs to the small fraction of people who embody the pop culture's idea of people who live in New Jersey.

A small fraction of the people who what the whatnow?
It was a joke, son. Get off your cultural high horse - I have no interest in "the pop culture's idea" of your little kingdom.

And by the way, when I've been in New Jersey I've had friends who live and grew up there get calls or texts from their friends saying "I'm at your exit, should I come by?" and such. This has happened more than once. But now that I know better, I'll be sure to let them know that referencing their interstate exists is bull**** thrust upon them by the media.

"I represent exit 63 bro."

That **** is what I was talking about. It's annoying and is only really used by "Jersey Shore" type people...which is all over MTV...which is pop culture...which is what I was referring too. I wasn't coming at you sir.

Peace to the Garden State. Also, for your experiment, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Greenwhich.
