im not really sure if you are being skeptical of what i said and i dont really understand why. is the belief that i prefer to say morganville because marlboro has a bad reputation? ive defended marlboro on here and generally feel the reputation comes from jealous malcontents. im absolutely not concerned with some people's perception of marlboro. but when i gave my address, i always said morganville. i always felt saying morganville was more appropriate even though i went to marlboro middle school and malrboro high school. i never really considered that anyone would take issue with that.

North Jersey is largely like that everywhere. 'The Garden' State is a misnomer if you consider that the most population dense areas are off of major transportation arteries (GSPW NJTP 1-9 440).

Tree lined streets will always remain the best looking. It brings so much character to the streets and town

Agree with this 100%.

I still remember the 2 maples and the 1 oak tree on the lawn of my childhood home. They were essential to my youth The one maple served as 3rd base for kickball. The other maple was home base for rounds of tag/freeze tag. At the base of the oak tree is where we played Smurf village...and up into its branches is where I threw my brother's brand new pair of Air Jordans one day when he was being a real jackasss, and then my mother beat the crap out of me.

I would have at least 75% less childhood memories without those trees.

Trees (Joyce Kilmer)

I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

I'm in North Jersey and most of the towns around mine are chock full of trees. Of course the closer you are to urban areas wouldn't be..

Developments..They usually clear cut...Older towns were for the most part one off construction and only removed what was necessary...Trees, especially conifers were desirable for a winter block,,usually on the wind side of a residence.

Agree 100%. Life itself would not be possible without trees.

But it seems that in Northern NJ, the richer the town is the more trees it has. For example, Ridgewood, Glen Rock seem to have a lot of trees. Elmwood Park/Fair Lawn? Really noticeably less trees.
