New Jersey: it's not all bad

I'm sure there are good things I could say about New Jersey. For instance, Lonewacko's dream girl Janeane Garofalo is from here. Then, there's the state high point which he bagged just a few days ago. I'll list more good things about New Jersey at the end of this post, but first let's deal with the bad things:

Maple Shade NJ is a mean little stop on the highway somewhat reminiscent of one of the hellholes of the East Bay (as in Bay Area) such as Union City but without the nice view of hills. As of 9pm on a Sunday, all of the big box stores and open air shopping centers had become a ghost town of giant signs and boxes. As far as food there is concerned, what you do is your own business, but in the unhappy event that Lonewacko finds himself here again, he will stay as far away from the "Great Taste" Chinese restaurant as possible.

Others (of course) have a bad opinion of New Jersey as well: here's the google search for '"New Jersey" armpit'.

Here's 'New Jersey: The armpit of America'

And, here's '10 Things I Hate About New Jersey (Part II)'

And, here's 'New Jersey: Let's be Corruption-Free in 2003'

UPDATE: CorkScrewed of Cherry Hill? If L.A. is the land of wannabe stars and starlets, New Jersey must be the land of wannabe franchises.
