The NJ one is so true.  I'm not from here but I've lived here long enough to learn all of those things.  Thank God I'm in PA now.  Only 5 min. from NJ....but still.

I live about 30 min. east of Philly now.  I really like Philly.  I especially like the cheesesteaks.  YUM!  The first time I ate one I was sick for days.  Now I am used to the grease.

you haven't lived until your car has been broken into so someone can steal your three dollars on your dash board, or until you have eaten a cheesesteak from North philly

I do eat my cheesesteaks in North Philly.  I can't think of the name of the place right now.  I know one is Big John's that I eat from but there is one in North Philly that is much better.  My husband was born in Philly.

Big Johns and the other one are my 2 favorites.  I don't know why I can't come up with that name.  I just ate there last week.  I haven't had my car broken into there yet but my husband has his broken into plenty when he was younger.  When we go to the zoo in West Philly I'm always terrified.  I take every single little thing out of my car before we leave home.  West Philly is a scary place to me.

the last time I went to the zoo was last year, lol Philly can be very scary i will agree but i just love it, when i am there i will walk to a corner store at 2Am to buy an iced tea it is so delicious! Gino's is another great cheesesteak place, maybe that's the one you are trying to think of

Yes!  I love Gino's.  I think all of the fun and excitement along with the scariness is what makes Philly so exciting, maybe?  I really liked South Street before I had the kids.  I still like it every now and again.

I've seen a lot of crimes and I don't even live there.  Just close by!  I do love Philly.  I like Manhattan a lot, but just to shop.  I go by myself during the week.  My sister in law lives there so when I need a break I just go to her apartment or if she's at work, I go there.  She works at Hudson River Park.  I definitely like Philly a lot better, though.  Both of my girls LOVE The Franklin Institute.  We take them there to the IMAX theatre a lot.  I just say earlier where they're playing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  We may have to do that soon.

Most of the Florida ones and all of the Maine ones are tru! Florida is always under construction. I don't think there is a street here that doesn't have some kinda working being done. A trip that could take you 20 mins turns into an hour long drive. The "headless people" LMAO Oh my god is that so true during the winter but during the summer it's always people that have no clue as to where they are going.

i lived in arizona for a year and that is sooooo true.   i had a car with black leather interior and was late for the swing shift one summer day, and was wearing shorts.  i burned my fingers just trying to open the door, and when i did finally open it, heat came out like i was opening an oven.  i didnt want to be late so i balled up some newspaper and pulled my shorts down a little bit and drove fast.  it was sooooooooo painful i was yelling out loud most of the way there. i pulled into valet and tipped the guy 5 bucks and told him better u than me, please park it in the shade.

it would have been nice if they had one about washington state. it seems like they are always working on the roads here too. we are about a mile back off the main road, with only one way in and out. when they were working on that it took forever just to get out .
