Is New Jersey world famous? (Jersey City, Trenton: beaches, island, place)

Hopefully Newark improves and becomes nice. Jersey City is becoming nicer and Hoboken has already had a wonderful transformation. I guess they will always be labeled "The Sixth Borough", but still, I'd like for them rise up.

Ride down the highway in Belgium and see signs for Hoboken.

Many words and places in NJ are of Dutch origin....

Many NJ cities have Euro sister cities.

Iowa hmmmm? NJ why of course we know it!

Let us not forget all the immigrants who made their way to NJ and reported back to the 'old country' so darn tootin the world knows NJ.

Dude Hoboken sucks. It's full of rich spoiled yuppies hypnotized to slave away at the corporate grind in NYC

i dont find it the least bit important that people i meet know the state or town that i live. nobody cares how "famous" your place of origin is.

Redman,Lauryn Hill,Queen Latifah,Frank Sinatra,Bruce Springsteen. That's some of the conversation I have when I tell people I'm from NJ. lol

Also...Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, famous landmarks, are IN New Jersey waters, but I think there are complications over the ownership of Liberty Island. I believe everything built on Ellis Island belongs to New Jersey, but I'm not sure about Liberty Island. Everyone probably believes they are in New York City territory however.

Well, it has all of those yuppies because it is such a nice and expensive city now. I'd rather it be full of yuppies than criminals, or worse...HIPSTERS!!! I feel bad for Brooklyn.

Nice? It's a giant sewer with high price tags slapped on it.

Criminals? Well I wouldn't even but them in the same category!

They all suck. Hipsters seem to be on the way out, unfortunately Yuppy culture will always exist.

It's good to be original.

I think for a state that doesn't have its own media outlets we're doing okay. lol
