4 Things People Get Wrong About New Jersey
Today is National New Jersey Day. It's a day to celebrate the Garden State and all the great things about the place we call home.

New Jersey Stereotypes
We're not saying that there aren't plenty of things to make jokes about here in New Jersey. We're just saying it doesn't have to be the same old tired jokes that aren't really true and, frankly, aren't really funny.
