I thought I was being harsh, but... James Monaghan writes:
|
1. World's worst drivers.
2. World's rudest people.
3. Police state, there are more laws for what you can't -- as opposed to
what you can -- do; the state puts a damper on everything.
|
|
4. World's worst for tolls, some of the highest in the nation.
5. Proper English is foreign to this state.
6. Air quality is the worst, especially in the Central New Jersey area.
7. Worst politicians, so crooked that when the die they will have to be
screwed into the ground.
More recently, he added:
1. Road barriers, when I lived in N.J. we called it the Berlin Wall.
2. Jug handle turnoffs, you wait forever for a light to change, and it's
a short one when it does.
3. Snow plows jamming your driveway with snow from the street.
4. Again jug handles when it snowed they were never cleared out properly,
it was slip and slide all the way.
5. Snow removal was a joke. It stayed in the streets until spring.
6. Chemicals dumped into the road ate the bottom of your car away.
7. The good ole Jersey shore: polluted waters, garbage on the beaches, medical
waste.
8. Beach fees to use the beach, plus parking fees.
9. Dirty streets.
10. Signs galore to tell you what you can't do on the beach. Have a nice
day, enjoy yourself, just sit there and don't make a move, big brother is
watching you every move to break a rule.
11. Food is the worst, help is rude. When you send something back that isn't
right and are there to hustle you out the door when you sit there trying
to digest the pig slop that was served.
12. Another thing: it seems people have this trouble with their middle finger,
I don't know whether it is stuck in that position or they are saying they
are number one.
The Country's Best Corn and Tomatoes
I'd like to suggest a site called New
Jersey Garden Network. In all seriousness, this is a really informative
site. Here's the official description:
New Jersey Garden Network is a comprehensive source of information and
advice about gardening in NJ. Offers tips and gardening activities calendar,
a guide to botanical gardens in NJ, upcoming gardening seminars at Rutgers
and Cook College. Dept of Agriculture provides information about weekly
Farmers Markets with "Jersey Fresh" produce. Includes NJ directory
of professional landscape services.
The State's Worst Radio Station
Clearly, New Jersey 101.5 pretty
much a non-stop selection of unimaginative music, ads, and right-wing
know-nothing talk radio. This is not New York and not Philadelphia. We
only wish it wasn't New Jersey, either.
|
If it weren't for the traffic reports, probably no one would
ever listen to it. The state's most egregious commentators? Deminsky and
Doyle, whose high point is be rude to any caller who dares to disagree with
them.

The World's Worst Traffic Engineers
For the most densely-populated state in the nation, New Jersey has some
of the world's worst traffic engineering. New Jersey is responsible for
one of the ugliest traffic inventions: the "New Jersey divider,"
that concrete barrier that now adorns the middle of every major highway
and an increasing number of "dualized" local roads. Too low
to prevent the glare of oncoming headlights, of course. Any color you
like, as long as it's gray. And naturally it's designed to divide towns,
prevent left turns, and demolish both you and your vehicle if you run
into one.
Apart from the abysmal design of the highways, there's the total aversion
to pedestrians and cyclists in the planning departments of almost every
city and town. Not incidentally, NJ has the highest per capita record
of pedestrian fatalities in the nation.
The Country's Most Corrupt Civic Officials
The newspapers publish long lists of those indicted for bribery. And those
are the ones who are stupid enough to get caught.
The Country's Worst Environmental Disasters
New Jersey has the country's largest number of Superfund sites, and also
has some of the nation's most pointless environmental legislation as well.
Most Overplayed Historical Event
The dubious conviction of Bruno Hauptmann for the kidnapping of the Lindbergh
baby is re-enacted each year at the Flemington courthouse.

T.J.'s, on Route 202 in Flemington had the imagination to go through the
archives of the Hunterdon County Democrat and embed 19th-century clippings
and photos in the plastic tabletops, giving a greater insight into the
history of this area than much of the commercial restoration in the town
of Flemington proper.
