7-30-19 in New Jersey

NJ.com posted this for New Jersey Day last week:
That's the state.

In the northeast corner we see those venerated New Jersey landmarks, the George Washington Bridge, the Meadowlands and Newark Liberty Airport.

In the center are Princeton, Trenton and Fort Dix. Below these most of New Jersey is in the 609 area code. It's a New Jersey thing.*

Moving southwest we cross over into Philadelphia Eagles territory and come to the Camden** Aquarium and the USS New Jersey.

Of course no depiction of New Jersey would be complete without a reference to the New Jersey Turnpike represented by the I-95 sign. We're Exit 10, to slip into some Jersey lexicon.** In the extreme southwestern corner are farms, lots of farms.  Across to the eastern side one see's the famous Jersey Shore and inland, pines and Pine Barrens.

Casa de Stroock is right under the golf course.

*Overheard at debutante parties, trendy disease charitable cotillions and such:
'Hello. William Stroock.'
'Of the California Stroocks?'
'No, New Jersey.'
'Ah, of course. Do you live in the 609?'
'No, 908.'
'Well, thank goodness for that.'
**Don't go to any other part of Camden. Not if you want to live. Also, don't go to Newark, Atlantic City or Trenton.
