**Only in Jersey: Bruce Springsteen Immortalized at the Pump! New Sculpture of ‘The Boss’ Unveiled at Princeton Gas Station Turns Heads, Sparks Selfies, and Honors a Blue-Collar Rock Legend Right Where It All Began—Locals Say It’s the Most New Jersey Tribute Ever Created**
In a tribute that’s equal parts heartfelt and uniquely New Jersey, a **life-size bronze sculpture of Bruce Springsteen** has been unveiled—at none other than a **Princeton gas station**. The statue, which depicts “The Boss” in his signature jeans, boots, and guitar slung low, now stands proudly near pump #3 at Route 206’s most talked-about service stop, where legend meets fuel in a tribute as unconventional as the man himself.
Commissioned by local businessman and lifelong Springsteen fan Marty Caruso, the statue is already drawing crowds from across the Garden State and beyond. “It just felt right,” Caruso said. “Bruce always sang about working-class life, and what’s more Jersey than a gas station? He’s our hometown hero.”
Passersby can’t help but stop, snap selfies, and hum a few lines from *Born to Run* or *Thunder Road* as they admire the sculpture’s remarkable detail—from the weathered leather jacket to the knowing grin that fans say “feels like Bruce just told you a story.”
While some found the location quirky, most agree it’s spot-on. “You can keep your red carpets and museums,” said one visitor. “This is how we honor a guy who gave voice to the everyday Jersey dream.”
Even Springsteen himself issued a lighthearted statement: “Only in New Jersey would I end up pumping gas in bronze. I love it.”
The statue has become more than a roadside attraction—it’s a pilgrimage site for fans, a symbol of pride for locals, and a reminder that **Bruce Springsteen’s legacy isn’t just in the music, but in the streets, stations, and stories of New Jersey itself**.
Just make sure to fill up your tank—and your heart—bef
ore you leave.
