Listeners share their picks for New Jersey's new slogan

Our nickname is "The Garden State", but it's not a slogan. There is a movement in the state senate to make it the official state slogan.

Ever since l moved to New Jersey when I was 12, and my father made me dig up part of the back lawn to plant his garden, I have had a garden in New Jersey. Even when I lived in a second floor apartment in Collingswood, I asked the landlord if I could plant some tomatoes.

I can't remember a year here when I didn't plant a garden. To me and millions of others it IS the garden state. But that's not a slogan.

Liberty and prosperity are on our state flag, but that kind of blatant hypocrisy could cause civil unrest if the legislature were arrogant enough to propagate such a lie as to make it our slogan in modern times. It may have been the idea in 1770 something, but that ship has sailed a long time ago.

So we left it to our listeners here in New Jersey to come up with the appropriate state slogan. In no particular order....(drumroll)
