Who's hating on Jersey? I spent all my summers growing up at the Jersey Shore, they have some of the best produce in the country (Jersey tomatoes and blueberries are the goats), and have produced Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, and Whitney Houston. Jersey Strong.
I grew up in Philly, and still live in PA. As a Pennsylvanian, I'm supposed to hate NJ, but I love it. My best childhood memories are at the Jersey shore.
