Exit 142

"What exit are you from?" New Jerseyians get a good sense of where you are from, relating to other new jerseyians, based on their exit off the parkway or turnpike.  One stereotype that i have heard from people is, Everyone from jersey lives off the parkway or turnpike.  Now, let me be truthful here, i have in fact asked people where they lived in New Jersey based on their parkway exit.  And along with that, i am proud to be from exit 142 off the parkway.  But not every person from New Jersey knows where they live according to the parkway or turnpike, because they don't live off of it.  South Jersey is a very open spaced section of our state and while the parkway goes along the eastern most part of the state, the turnpike cuts it up ever so slightly.  New Jersey is bigger than most people think it is, we are not all connected to one road.  You Jersey haters may be right, we love our highways, but we are not all connected to it.  While i cant say that this is a false stereotype, i cant say that it is a true one either.  So i will say... whatever.
