We have a new zodiac inspired t-shirt that came out pretty well. But you have to figure out what #WeirdNJ sign corresponds to you because we didn't assign them. Basically, what appeals to you is what you are. Info and link to buy here:

If you travel northbound along Rt 15 in #Sparta, NJ, look up to the right as you pass Blue Heron Road. You may notice a bit of a gleam up on the hill, especially during the colder seasons when the trees are bare. What could it be?

If you’re driving along Route 40 and not paying close attention you could easily pass through #Richland, NJ without even noticing it, or the strange leafless tree standing as the centerpiece of a park...

Strolling along the shores of Spring Lake in #Hamilton’s John A. Roebling Memorial Park you’ll find the random vestiges of one of New Jersey’s great lost amusement parks ... a magnificent stone staircase.
