up to new jersey - |
People in NH and ME say they are going "up to NJ" which makes no sense to people from NJ who say they are going up to NH or ME. By the same token, no one from NJ can understand why ME is called "downeast." However, people from the upper Hudson Bay, or the Arctic Circle, or Northern Alberta understand that ME is "downeast." I am not sure why this helps understand "up to NJ," though.
