For those who aren't in the know, New Jersey's motto is {was?}
"The Garden State". Hence, gnu's question whether residents of New Jersey are called 'Gardeners".

I was born and raised in Atlantic City, home of the Miss America pagent, the Boardwalk, and numerous gambling casinos.

Actually I don't think that folks living in New Jersey had a collective name for themselves. Maybe why Texans are known for their big egos and we have to put up with jokes about our state.

To correct this sin of omission, I hereby nominate the snooty sounding name "New Jerseyite". That should help us build up our self-esteem...

Hey, "New Jerseyite" is better than "New Jerseyian".

Of course, what all this has to do with the whereabouts of Big Mick is little or nothing..

So where the heck is Big Mick?
