Bruce Springsteen. Jon Bon Jovi. The Sopranos. New Jerseyians identify with their state the way Texans identify with their state. Versus in my case I'm not a "Pennsylvanian" I'm a "Philadelphia Suburbanian".
New Jersey is also one of the easiest states to get around - interstates seem to connect all the major points - just watch out for the traffic circles and jug handle turns. I swear you can't make a left hand turn anywhere in Jersey. I've never viewed Jersey from a tourist perspective. For me it's a place you simply go to the beach for a vacation because...well...that's what you do. There are literally people who's only vacations they take in their lifetime is heading "down the shore" every summer.
