It feels as if New Jersey has just the most bland looking geography in the whole country.
Most of what we have are generic looking forests and tiny farms and what few mountains we have are nothing compared to the rest of the Appalachians and Rockies.

Well, every state shines in it's own special way in terms of geography and landscapes, from homely forests and plains that look ripped out of some American Revolution related painting, to giant mountains and valleys that make you think of the wild west.
Have some New Jersey pics to cheer ye up.

No, because I'm not a vandal. Graffiti is nice when it's allowed. I would say on a rare occasion Graffiti is acceptable, but not most cases.
Houston has this:

On the other side of the bridge:

It's painted above one of the busiest interstates in the City and is seen by thousands of people every day. However, lately people have been painting over it. But it keeps coming back.

Actually no, I've never made any graffiti in my life.
Partly because I avoid public bathrooms like the plague, but mostly because I have some decency.
I like graffiti when it's well planned out, is athletically pleasing, and is allowed by the property owner. Random gang tags on the side of a grain car are not pleasing.
gonna post some street art from my city i guess

what you're looking at in that pic is a million bathrooms that were dingy before the graffiti and whose owners didnt just decline to clean but let it build up to the point where they accept it. a lot of places do this because they simply don't care if their bathroom is up to corporate standards of visual agnosticism and in plenty of cases there's the implicit understanding that its even kind of cool to just accept your neighborhood and the authentic personality of the space you inhabit. i'm not the only person who looks for exactly that kind of character over a shitty sterile chain restaurant. like, it's honestly part of the charm of living in an urban space and it comes off as really sheltered and anal to call it "vandalism"
late 90s game covers r seriously the best. they have such a memorable grungy feel, so memorable from my childhood
