Ah, New Jersey.
Home to the Sopranos, the Nets, Atlantic City and a whole lot of highways and roads, the Garden State has a warm spot in many people's hearts..well...it does in mine anyway.
On this day, long ago in 1787, New Jersey became the the third state to ratify the constitution, after Delaware and Pennsylvania. The decision was unanimous. (awww)
I'm not quite sure how to celebrate this, but here's some random pointless trivia about New Jersey...
- New Jersey has the highest population density in the U.S. An average 1,030 people per sq. mi., which is 13 times the national average.
- New Jersey is the only state where all its counties are classified as metropolitan areas.
- North Jersey is the car theft capital of the world, with more cars stolen in Newark then any other city. Even the 2 largest cities, NYC and LA put together.
- New Jersey has the most dense system of highways and railroads in the U.S.
- New Jersey has the most diners in the world and is sometimes referred to as the diner capital of the world.
- North Jersey has the most shopping malls in one area in the world with seven major shopping malls in a 25 sq. mile radius.
If you ever find yourself lost in New Jersey, (as many people do at some point in their lives) then pick yourself up a promotional map.
