I think you got it all wrong. It's usually the NY drivers that go in the opposite directions of the one way street. make left turns on the red etc..

Uhhh, insurance companies figure out the rates for NJ drivers based on statistics of NJ drivers...
I think NJ is a great state to live in. Most of my favorite restaurants are in NJ (I'm from western NY). My only complaints about NJ: cost of real-estate (but not as bad as many other areas!), and the drivers. It's generally easy to identify drivers from NJ; they're the ones going 15 mph over the speed limit, regardless of the flow of traffic, and they never use turn signals in traffic.
I think they view us as bad or slow drivers because they're used to driving in their own state. But when they come to New York and see people doing the speed limit and obeying traffic signs and signals, they get all confused and pissy.
hahaha...I love how Jersey people get all offensive. Yes, I've person to many parts of Jersey more times than I wish, it's ok in someplaces but it's just really crappy most places. the whole stereotype is Jersey sucks and it's backed up pretty well. Get over it.
I was in a grocery store (I live in NoVa and it rocks! Go to SW VA for hicks that trickle over from WVa) the other day in line to check out...
Couple behind me: ugh, this is going to slow, we're from NY and everything up there is quick and easy.
Me: oh, yah, I know what you mean. What part of NY? i'm from Syracuse.
Couple: oh...well...actually we're from New Jersey....
Me: (trying not to laugh right in front of them)
No joke. Perfect example of another stereotype. NJ people want to be NY'ers

btw, if you had read my post a bit above yours, you'd see, that my home state and home town are Atlanta, GA.

Actually, I travel for work 2-3 times a month, often for the entire week, all over the country. So I eat at a LOT of restaurants. Can't say I remember any one of them not having refills on pop. And I'm not talking McDonald's.
At least PlatinumGold and I can agree on one thing, we both hate the west coast.
hehehehe
i'm an east coaster most of my life.
but between Georgia and Oregon, i would choose Oregon, but NJ is best.
btw, i've never lived in NC or VA but i know them almost as well as ga. used to have friends that lived in both states and spent lots of time there.
no, NJ ROX.
Not all highly densely populated areas are the same. I lived in the DC Metro area for most of my life, the only tolls I ever had to pay was the Dulles Toll Road if I was going out to Reston (rarely) or up in Baltimore. In NJ, you cant get anywhere without taking the turnpike or the GSP. NJ just sucks that way.

I once had 27 glasses of Mt. Dew at Red Lobster. That is all. Oh and virtually all MN restaurants have free refills.

Uh, hello, heard of Saks Fifth? $15 movie tickets? Broadway? SoHo? Sorry, but New York is the Queen, Captain, and CEO of pretentiousness. The word was made for that city. Every compare club scenes? Grease a palm or do some planning and you can go anywhere in Los Angeles. Just you try getting into one of the "elite" hangouts in NY -- even celebs get stiffed at the doors there. And tell me again where the fashion capital of the US is? Oh that's right, it's New York, and fashionistas are by far the keepers of the word, followed closely by the theater crowd, which, incidentally, is headquartered in NY as well. Fine dining crowd? Yeah, LA and SF have their icons, but they still don't hold a candle to the festering snobbiness of New York. At least you can get a table at Matsuhisa, Patina, or L'Orangerie at a moment's notice without being on "The List," not to mention the average price of a top tier meal in LA is ~$60 compared to NY's ~$90.
LA has Melrose, Sunset and the Palisades, so if you want to define "pretentious" as fake boobs and designer boutiques, fine. But if you use the dictionary definition, New York's got more than its fair share of penthouses, old money, and underground "scenes" to claim the title of the Most Pretentious city in the US.
hey genious, that is referring to the University of Virginia. try clicking on the next page arrow to the right of that picture
