Ask a guy from New Jersey anything...

"The differences between a mountain and a hill are difficult and nebulous. There isn’t a standard definition that sharply delineates one from the other. Even the United States Geological Survey (USGS) concludes that a mountain and a hill don’t have technical definitions and no scientific consensus exists"

meh, I don't care what the heck you call it, if it's there and I'm in the mood, I'm gonna hike it and enjoy the hell out of it.

The places I asked about are real Jersey locations.
In N Out hasnt yet made it to the East coast, though if they've visited the West coast, its likely they have been.

Ive never heard of Doggie Diner, myself. Is it a diner for dogs?
 
Why does I-95 through your state (and NY and Delaware and....) cost so much to drive on but SUCK SO BAD?

Because someone figured out how to make money off of people traveling through our state :)

And what's more - whoever laid out that whole thing was on acid. 295, 95, the turnpike, you'd think they were kinda sorta the same road and all that, or at least related... I cant count how many people I know who were coming up 95 from down south, passed through Delaware, PA, got into NJ, stayed on that road and ended up back in Delaware after an hour and half of driving...

What's with the traffic circles? I'd ask you why it smells so bad, but I know that one. The whole state is built on a giant landfill. Do you get pulled over if your "NO FEAR" sticker is expired? Why is the ocean so nasty in NJ?

Traffic circles were miraculous creations that worked supremely well......60 years ago.. less populations, less traffic back then. Now? Well, it's entertaining to watch non Jerseans try to navigate those suckers. It's like the famous:
"Look kids, it's Big Ben!" scene from national Lampoons Euro Vaca.
Why does it smell so bad? It doesn't.where pray tell led you to assume that the entire state smelled? Well, maybe up at the north east corridor with the refineries, but North west..? ahh beautiful. It's part of the Appalachians up there. SUPREME hiking, camping and fishing.
Landfills? Doofus.
"NO FEAR" sticker? Have no idea. What is it? Bumper sticker? Bumper stickers can say a lot about the driver. Usually, but not always, it's not very good. You have one?
Ocean so nasty? Depends. Some areas are really very nice, others are giant garbage recepticals for NYC. Name one and I'll tell you
