John, you're right about the pretty aspect of NJ. A few years ago we
drove from Philly along U.S. 1 (I think) up to Dover, NJ where we had
business at the Picatinny Army Arsenal. We drove around the Princeton
campus (where one of my office buddies had 2 kids enrolled at the same
time) and Rutgers Univ. where we watched rowers on the lovely little
river. Everything we saw was very pretty. We enjoyed great restaurants
and friendly folks while we were there. The extreme opposite, however,
was what we saw of Trenton and Newark on our way to the airport.

Dunno about the tank farms. They cluster around Newark Airport. I'm 25
miles
south of it and have actual farms within walking distance and this type
of
town/farm countryside extends down to the end of the state. We get a bad
rap
from people who fly into Newark Airport and think that they have been to
New
Jersey. Outside of Newark, Trenton and Camden, it truly is a Garden
state
full of farmland. Too bad tourists going into New York never see the 95%
of
the State that is great. Kinda like going to South Central LA and
thinking
that all of California is like that.
BTW I have never heard anyone in New Jersey saying Joisey.
