Sounds Like New Jersey! (by cpricciardi17)
“In 1938, Frank was singing at his first real professional gig at the Rustic Cabin in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, just up the road from the George Washington Bridge. Even at that young age, the other band members reported that Frank was a big attraction to the ladies. One night, so the story goes, Frank was invited out to the parking lot for a ‘personal encounter.’ Unfortunately, a policeman tapped on the car window sending the woman into a panic….she started screaming ‘rape.’ Frank was arrested, and these photos were taken. The next day, the woman, who was married, dropped the charges. Case dismissed.”

Thanks to a slew of TV shows, people think my state is kind of trashy. (Bravo and MTV, I’m looking at you…) But while we certainly have our fair share of derelicts and guidos- some of my family included- its not all bad.
Here are some reasons why we don’t suck:
1. Bruce Springstein. Period.
2. If Bruce is The Boss, Sinatra is the man. Blue eyes is from Hoboken.
3. Buddy Valastro. Thank you TLC for putting a decent NJ family on TV. I love Cake Boss almost as much as I love cannolis. Almost.
4. We have the best diners. And they are open 24/7.
5. We also have the best pizza (Sorry Bronx, but Jersey wins)
6. You might not think about farms when you think about NJ, but you should. I can get my eggs straight from the chickens, tomatoes right off the vine, and corn from a truck down the road. We’re not called The Garden State for nothing.
7. We don’t pump our own gas. We are the only state. (besides oregon, but if that’s the only thing oregon has on us, that’s fine by me)
