10 Things You Quickly Learn When You Move To New Jersey
Life in the Garden State is certainly unique; we’re diverse, densely packed and truly have it all. We move at a faster pace, especially on the highway, but do know how to slow down and enjoy all we offer. Though our state isn’t SO different from the rest, there are definitely a few things you won’t be used to. Here are 10 things you learn quickly when you move to New Jersey.
Rush hour is actually several hours and it's for commuting to and from work, not running out to shop or grab groceries.
The Parkway gets backed up for miles.
Our water is cleaner and warmer than California beaches in the summer.
We're top national producers of everything from cranberries to tomatoes. We've also got over 700,000 acres of farmland.
We've got mountains, forests, pinelands and charming small towns.
In addition to amazing ethnic cuisines, we've got the best pizza, bagels and hot dogs around.
Or should I say taylor ham? And, oh, the arguments it causes.
Our music scene is pretty spectacular. We've got endless venues from the Stone Pony to the PNC Bank Arts Center and the best musicians from Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi to Frank Sinatra and Whitney Houston.
The good old Jersey salute.
When disaster strikes, you can rely on your neighbors. In Hoboken after Hurricane Sandy, those with power helped those without, setting up charging stations.
