File this under, "We would if we could."
"When it comes to its image, New Jersey really cares," Gov. Richard J. Codey said. "Our catch phrase should hint at our true beauty."
Mission accomplished.
Personally, I liked, "New Jersey: Most of Our Elected Officials Have Not Been Indicted."
For the time being, it's even true.
I've been to New Jersey and seen for myself. I am still tramatized 25 years later.

I could probably find a smoke-belching factory chimney in say, Charlotte, N.C. easily enough.

For the first and perhaps only time, I'm going to agree with Arthur. Southern New Jersey is a bueatiful area, and I've thought several times that teh coast creeks and marshes would be a wonderful place to kayak and fish.
Northern, New Jersey, on the other hand, is another matter entirely. While Arthur could find smokestacks elsewhere, I somewhat doubt he could replicate the pervasive stench.

I've found these mottos to be self evident:
New Jersey: You Want A ##$%##! State Motto? I Got Yer ##$%##! State Motto Right Here!
or
New Jersey: Come Visit and Feel Better About Your Own State

Wilmington, NC?
Hey...as a resident of South Jersey (Southern New Jersey) I have to object to the comments. We have refineries here, too. Also nukes. We also have Bald Eagles, tiny tree frogs, bears, deer, pristine streams, and too many cars. If you want to learn more about Southe Jersey check out this link
