Uncle John's Bathroom Reader is plunging into another superb state. This time around, it's New Jersey, the Garden State, long proud of its traditions, its history, and its accent. From Jersey tomatoes and blueberries, the Tigers of Princeton and the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers, the songs of the Boss and the Chairman of the Board, the Garden State has long provided a treasure trove of exceptional sons and daughters, legends and folklore, amazing facts and figures-not to mention a wealth of jokes. Whether going "down the shore," getting lost in the Pine Barrens, dining on great cuisine in Newark's Ironbound district, or driving down the Turnpike, traveling around New Jersey captures the imagination. Interesting and entertaining articles cover tons of little-known facts like:
* Known as the "Pathway of the Revolution," New Jersey was the site of over 100 battles during the War for Independence.
* Mud from a secret South Jersey riverbank rubs the sheen off of every new baseball used in the Major League.
* A gas station in Englewood sports a plaque saying "It All Started Right Here." What started there? Frank Sinatra's career. The station sits on the site of the Rustic Cabin where he worked as a singing waiter.

You from Jersey? What exit? Go ahead and laugh. But watch it, New Jersey is home to legendary tough guys like Tony Soprano and Frank Sinatra, and no one knows for sure if Jimmy Hoffa's buried in the Meadowlands Stadium. Though many believe "New Jersey culture" is an oxymoron, something conjured up while inhaling the fumes on the Turnpike, your Uncle John, a connoisseur of the Garden State, is out to prove them wrong. Take the plunge into N.J., and see why it's like nowhere else--from Springsteen's Asbury Park and Trump's Atlantic City to the ivy walls of Princeton and the tidy townships to the west.
