New Jersey Now on the UWS

The sneaky state of New Jersey has quietly made its way into a storefront on the Upper West Side; opening a pop-up tourism store on West 73rd and Columbus that is suspiciously devoid of Bon Jovi, the Boss, scrunchies and mall references.

At least one neighborhood local is horrified by the invasion, questioning if it's worse than a Chase bank. They report back from the scene, telling us that the storefront that used to house an "elegant art-deco poster gallery... now looms a diorama-style ad to visit New Jersey this fall... replete with bales of hay, corn stalks, wagon wheels, pumpkins."

Nature, disgusting!

Where is my "beloved" Route 80!?!

Wow, does anyone have it worse than that local?

This store is ruining everything. We like to perpetuate the Dirty Jersey stereotype so tourists and transplants don't invade. Don't show the state for what it really is.

"Bales of hay and pumpkins?" Didn't come from my lab...

Well, jersey's got some guts. Bravo!

all along the side of the GSP.

There was one of these on Broadway in between Union Square and Flatiron all summer. Now it's one of Bloomberg's campaign offices.

Can you get a jug of Eau-De-Secaucus-in-August?

Do they have any of those um, "lovable" cows?

As part of the Obama administration's efforts to cut down on costs, all fifty states will soon be consolidated into a Greenwich Village P.O. box.

YES WE CAN'T!

I don't see what the big deal is. Those American Apparel ad banners are 10,000 times uglier.
