Ever wonder why everyone loves Northern New Jersey so much... Well, here's why.
1. Ramapo Reservation
Having a hiking place so close is something that you'll miss when you're gone.
2. "The shore"
If you call it "The Beach," you know you're not from NJ.
3. "The City"
4. The mall
What's better than a Westfield? Garden State Plaza... The mall where Wiz Kalifa came to visit.
5. Houses
Big mansions, castles, and houses are what we are known for.
6. Bagels
What's better than a fresh Jersey bagel or maybe even a Taylor Ham, egg and cheese?
7. Pizza
People say Long Island or even Brooklyn pizza is better... Nope.
8. Sunday Blue Laws
No stores have Sunday's off except for Bergen County!
9. Route 17
What easy way to get around then the easy and breezy Route 17!
10. The high school parking lot
Mercedes, BMW's, Audi's and more...
11. Diners at midnight
What's better than Stateline, The
12. Friday/Saturday night games
Pascack Valley Football games, Bergen Catholic/ Bosco Lacross games or maybe a Ramapo vs. Highlands Soccer game.
13. Jets or Giants
One or the other... but definitely not the patriots. If you're a Boston fan sorry but you're by yourself.
14. Prom
Everyone went to prom looking like this.
15. Bar and Bat Mitzvah stage
(Depending on what town you live in) If you live in Woodcliff Lake, Fair Lawn, Tenafly, Englewood or Upper Saddle River you went to more than 40 of them.
16. College
A good chunk of your high school friends attend TCNJ, Rutgers or Ramapo College.
17. Jobs
You either started working when you were 15 at Carvel or you just started working right out of high school.
18. "Jersey Shore"
The show is nothing like our state. Don't hate on us.
19. College outside of NJ
When you live outside the 201 everything is different now.
20. The gym
If you don't go to Lifetime Fitness, The Gym or Retro... where do you go?
21. 201 is home
Us Jersey people are very protective of our state. Home is forever in the 201.
Forever 201 is home. I love NJ.
