New Jersey: needs help

[magid]

The five state slogans still in the running are

1. "New Jersey: Love at First Sight"
   
2. "New Jersey: The Real Deal"
   
3. "New Jersey: Come See for Yourself"
   
4. "New Jersey: Expect the Unexpected"
   
5. "New Jersey: The Best Kept Secret"

They all lead to questions (What secrets? Is it possible to expect the right unexpected (whatever that is)? etc.). And they're all bland, though that may be a function of trying to come up with a state slogan these days.

I hear it's been decided: "Come See for Yourself" is the winner.

What happened to "New Jersey and You: Perfect Together" anyway?

Don't know why people are coming down on northern New Jersey specifically. There are some gorgeous areas in the northern part of the state. The southern part of the state is where I noticed big changes, with farms becoming office parks.

I think northern New Jersey near NYC has a reputation for ugly factories, whether or not there are also pretty areas too.

Frankly, I like the old slogan better; it's much more positive. Though I suppose "Come See for Yourself" isn't the worst of the bunch (heck, if everyone in the US came to NJ once, that would be a boost to the economy, even if most didn't return).
