New Jersey and Waukeegan don't exist anyway. They were sucked off...up...out...they disappeared a long, long time ago. I remember when it happened: there were two gigantic sucking sounds and all the flights bound for Neward had to be re-routed to places like Boggs Junction and Islip and Wells and Corn Creek. It was awful. People walked around for months looking for Paramus and Jersey City and Atlantic City. The Jersey Devil, who'd been shopping in New York City, had a nervous breakdown. The trains "Waukeegan Flyer" and "City of Waukeegan were sidetracked and the passengers eventually homesteaded the area -- there was nowhere else for them to go or do. Milwaukee folks bewailed the loss for months, wandering about and wringing their hands and going "Hoo hoo!" everywhere.
