Positively New Jersey: Residents share their most Jersey moments

Well, have you ever had a true Jersey moment? You're in a situation and you think this could only happen here? News Brian Donohue seems to have a few of those every day. Behold, this dramatic footage of my valiant but knuckleheaded cousin Jimmy balancing a pie on the handlebars against strong headwinds on a late night boardwalk pizza run. I had to film it. Not just because I thought he dropped a pizza, but because the moment just felt so wonderfully, Jersey did it sick, right. One of a bunch of Jersey moments I had on a recent staycation like watching Springsteen from the nose bleed seats in the meadowlands and watching the lifeguards at Sandy Hook take the stand down for the last time all summer. It all got me thinking about those quintessentially New Jersey experiences we have. So I found a quintessentially Jersey parking space under the state flag at the Whitney Houston rest stop and decided to collect some more from other Jersey. Folk, New Jersey is the all capital of Yeah. Yeah. You don't need to tell Judy here about quintessential Jersey experiences. She used to work retail at Garden State Plaza Mall in Para does it get more Jersey? There's only three stores for Garden State Plaza when it started, bam burgers, Gimble and JC Penney and then they started to enclose it and now it's humongous but it was just the atmosphere. Robert here with his dog, Daisy is living an experience that has been a quintessential New Jersey one for centuries. Moving here from New York. I'm out here 23 years and then wishing people would stop moving here from New York and it's getting so overcrowded. Everybody from New York is moving out here like me. I just love New Jersey. I can't leave Gary here. Brought up a more serious one. Many of us have lived gratefulness for New Jersey and its neighboring cities. Incredible health care option. I, I had a operation myself and what I have done it. I wouldn't let nobody no other hospital do it. New Jersey have one of the, uh, best doctors and hospitals around Jessica recounted a true Jersey moment she had in Philly the first time she drove out of state and had to buy gas. And I'm, you know, I'm waiting for somebody to pump my gas and, um, I'm sitting there sitting there, someone was like, get out the car. You idiot, you pump your gas. I was like, I'm from New Jersey. So I was like, I had no clue. I'm like, oh, shoot, what do I do? How do I pump gas? You ever tried to carry a pizza on the handlebars of a bicycle into a real stiff wind. No, I've never done that. No. My quintessential Jersey moment is not yours. Yours is not mine. But we know those Jersey moments when we have them, when you realize this place is just not quite like anywhere else. The only thing I wish we could have better control over as the property taxes. Other than that, you're the first person I talked to and I was the first paying the property taxes. That's a quintessential New Jersey experience. I'm Brian Donohue. That's positivity. New Jersey.
