You subconsciously admit the superiority of the glory that is New Jersey.

At the very least NJ had a much more interesting shape than PA. The Only interesting part of PA is where it touches NJ

Jersey Shore, Pa is also pretty cool just by the name alone.

I'm Jersey born and raised- but my BF is from PA near Harrisburg, just outside of it on the Susquehanna. PA is beautiful and it doesn't get enough credit! Plus love all the breweries out there.

As someone going to school near there but not a major city. I love the aspect you mentioned, but I also love all the convenience offered in NJ (excluding South Jersey that’s basically PA). Even the McDonald’s be closing… like what

& most importantly THE BEACH

Oh definitely agreed! We're still here because I love the beach- but it's so population dense these days it hard to enjoy. But they are compromises we've made. I feel less stressed out in PA because the pace is slower, but that's the nature of the beast here.

I went to college for a few years out near Harrisburg. It was a lifestyle I didn’t quite appreciate living in rural Pennsylvania, but I did find myself missing it as I got older and always enjoying a visit to see friends living in and near Hershey

Edit: that being said, I love Jersey way more 🤩

My heart lies in NJ for sure despite my complicated relationship with it- but it's home and always will be.
