Weird Jersey
I choose a woman pumping gas because in New Jersey someone pumps your gas for you. For the longest time I did not know how to operate a gas pump. Very sad. I choose the Pork Roll because it originated in Trenton, NJ which is close to where I grew up and the capital of NJ. Its also very tasty! I choose children walking behind a hawk mascot because Maurice Hawk is the first school I attended. There are also a lot of children and families in Princeton Junction. I choose the background which is the Princeton junction train station because it was only about a mile from my house growing up. I would travel to new york a lot. The train was so close i could hear it from my back porch. I choose the acme picture because i lived across the street from an acme my whole life and it shut down about 3 months ago. It had been the center of the town and in the failing economy many of our favorite places are closing. The acme is a memory for me. Funny thing is, for some reason where I grew up people don't say ACME they say AC-AH-ME. maybe its just a jersey thing...
