Maureen has been reminding us locals that the state of New Jersey is looking for a new slogan. You can go right now and vote for one of these finalists:
- New Jersey, Expect the Unexpected
- New Jersey, Love at First Sight
- New Jersey, Come See For Yourself
- New Jersey, The Real Deal
- New Jersey, The Best Kept Secret
There is no write in vote, so you can't opt for any of these these fine attempts that didn't make the final hurdle:
- New Jersey, You Got a Problem With That?
- New Jersey, What Are You Looking At?
- New Jersey: Tolls and Taxes
- New Jersey: Close Enough to Get There By Train
None of which irks me near as much as Pennsylvania's old slogan: Pennsylvania, America Starts Here (with its corrolary, Pennsylvania, Those Last 90 Miles Were Just a Bad Dream).
In Gravedigger's Birthday, BJ Ward described NJ as "the short imperfect loveliness of groundhog". Doesn't work on a bumper sticker, but that may be the best way to sum it up.
What state is your state in?

David: I love "New Jersey, You Got a Problem With That?" It would make Tony Soprano smile.
Washington: Land of Liquid Sunshine
Washington: You've Got Mail!
Washington: Will That Be for Here or To Go?
