BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Monday was National New Jersey Day, celebrating the fact that the Garden State was the third state to join the Union, according to the National Day Calendar and Governor's Office.
Officials and residents around the Garden State posted videos celebrating what makes New Jersey special, some of them humorous.
Bergen County Commissioner Tracey Zur pulled into a gas station and enjoyed the fact that customers in the Garden State don't have to pump their own gas.
(New Jersey's gas prices, for those wondering, are close to the 4.09 national average reported this week by AAA — and on track to exceed the average price near the end of the covid pandemic in 2022, reports say.)
After filling up, Zur hit the road, playing hits from Frank Sinatra (a Hoboken native), Jon Bon Jovi (Sayreville), and Bruce Springsteen (Freehold).
But what was the real Jersey moment? See the video of her saucy commentary on the road:
