There are tons of lush parks and thousands of unique small towns that you can call home, and if you're into open space and fresh air then may I introduce you to Central PA; home of nothing but farmland and cows.

And I'm not talking about the people; honestly, I think us New Jersyians are some pretty good looking folks.

According to the Instagram Page Jersey Talks, NJ was ranked as an ugly state because of our overly industrialized areas, congested roadways, and urban sprawl, but I think this survey is very incorrect.

If you've spent any time in Jersey, you know it's not an ugly state; we've got beaches, mountains, rivers, gorgeous parks, and tons of amazing local attractions like our lighthouses and music venues.

Now, if you've only ever been to Jersey to get to the Newark Airport then yes, you might think it's an ugly state.

These are just some of the small towns that make Jersey beautiful.
