Or would you want all Parkway rest stops named after people born in or who have lived in Jersey?

This whole question popped into my head after it was announced that a Parwaay Rest Stop would be renamed after the legendary actor Bruce Willis.

I started thinking, "Given the choice, who would Jersey choose to name a rest stop after if it was put to a vote?"

I posed the question on the 105.7 The Hawk Facebook Page, and the responses were overwhelming.

There were a lot of New Jersey names that popped up, but some that also surprised me.

For example, Jason Vorhees, the slasher from Friday The 13th, appeared a few times, and so did the legendary actor Jack Nicholson. I was surprised too that I didn't see Danny Devito's name pop up on the list of possible names.

He's a beloved Jersey icon and would seem like a good fit for a Parkway Rest Stop Nominee, but he was nowhere to be found on our list.
