The true strange part is why this was in Kentucky

I'm not saying that I agree with it, but it's understandable.

As a proud New Jerseyan, I offer a hearty fuck you to whoever made this lameass sign.
rumba@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
The best part, is it was a New Jerseyan that made it.
Trying to keep people from renting local hotel rooms for nefarious or dirty things.

Well first of all, that’s the standard greeting in New Jersey

Fled New Jersey when I was 2 (months) and have only been back to visit relatives a couple times.

For someone not in the US: what kind of shop is that, and why is it banning people from NJ?
RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 5 months ago
Apart from the comments explaining this is probably fake, I think the NJ hate that drove it comes from their populous, rich neighbors like NYC just doing a garden-(state-)variety “I hate poor/rural people.”
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
It’s a “shop” if you mean it’s short for “photoshop”. It is not a real thing, only a joke. There would be no reason, we just have lighthearted rivalries between states.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ah, OK.
tempest@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
My guess would be some sort of government service or charity whose funding is state related but is close to a border with another state.
They can probably serve out of state people but are not set up for it.

NJ used to be the fake ID of choice back in the day
klemptor@startrek.website 5 months ago
Yeah you could easily get them made on a machine at the boardwalk

Admittedly, as the best state in America, there is very little reason for us to leave. But we do still like to travel, just like the folks in the lesser states. We shouldn’t be deified like this.

That’s actually the key, this was posted in a NJ hotel. (it’s old Reddit but i was there when the bombs dropped)
They’re worried about locals renting a room to defile trying to keep stuff out of their house.

I love my state, but I leave because it’s way cheaper to vacation somewhere else!

For a s3cond I thought that was OJ lol
DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not to be reductionist, but as a fellow NJ alum, my assumption was entirely that everyone conjures the image in their head of the factories and general urban decay you encounter as soon as you cross the Delaware memorial. You’re then accosted by the east coast autobahn terrordome that is the NJT until you gtfo.
I get it, but it was unironically named the Garden State because it was once apart of the bread basket of the first 13, and it’s honestly quite verdant and pleasant throughout.
Again though, I get it.

I’m visiting NJ for the first time through a work trip this week.
Reminds me just as much as Massachusetts or Maine. Lots of greenery, and definitely not as bad as maybe I thought going in
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 months ago
I make the East Coast round trip drive about twice a year, and your description of the southbound trip out of NYC is bang on accurate.

I feel like the popular conception of Jersey is Newark and the Sopranos and nothing in between
kelseybcool@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I can say that I’m guilty of this and was pleasantly surprised when I visited for a few days during a work trip some years ago.
That said, I did fly into Newark so y’all still had some explaining to do. Yes I know about the remodel, but it wasn’t done when I was there so that doesn’t count 😛

“from” being the operative word.
Bruce Springsteen’s breakout hit was about getting out of Jersey ASAP.
curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 5 months ago
I know youre joking, but so others know - Springsteen’s breakout hit was Born to Run. Its about escaping the pressures if life. About going for a long drive away from the factories (blue collar family), getting away from it all on the road.
He still lives in NJ, he’s a proponent of LGBTQ rights, believes strongly in the dignity of work (before anyone misconstrues this, this means that all jobs should be respected equally), he donates his time and his money on a local, state, and regional level in campaigns to address hunger, resources for low income families, antipoverty grants through his own foundation, etc. He’s also been this way since the 1980s so not new either.

Pork roll.

Pork roll. I will die on this hill.

I lived across the river of NYC without paying the NYC rent prices.
NJ’s shores are nice. Good malls too.
