The New Jersey Turnpike recently announced plans to rename its rest stops, which have, in the past, been named after prominent Jersey residents like Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Edison, and Joyce Kilmer. The rest stops will still be named after prominent Jersey natives, but they’ve been updated a bit to reflect some of the most famous people who have come out of the state in the past century. Some of those stops will be named after musicians, including Perth Amboy’s Jon Bon Jovi, Newark’s Whitney Houston, Hoboken’s Frank Sinatra, and Celia Cruz, who was born in Havana but who lived in Fort Lee when she died. Bruce Springsteen won’t be among the Jersey luminaries honored with their own rest stops, but that’s by his own choice.
