I was not referring to farmers. Franklin does not really have too many farmers either. Its kinda like a wallmart and shoprite, arby's and bk town with a lot of liquor stores. Actually when I drive thru it I think Im in Plattsburgh, NY!!!

A home on the water in Island Heights.
A log cabin out in an area of the Pinelands.

Still in Hunterdon; just on a much larger property. Maybe Warren County though, in a place similar to what Wiley posted for me a ways back (but more property  ) |

When I was a kid, I used to see calendars that usually had a picture of some little town in Vermont (you all know which one I mean!) that had the little church and a few country-looking homes and a barn around it. I think they show it in a fly-over on the opening sequence of PBS's "American Experience". It has that "Norman Rockwell - Thomas Kincaid" quality about it and I always thought it looked like a "little piece of paradise" on Earth.
But then I got older, and when I looked at that picture with the thought of living in that town, the realization hit me, that as nice as it is, I'd be kicking myself! Where's the Pizza Place, the Chinese restaurant and the Best Buy (and, as you get older - the doctor's office and the hospital)! Probably 30 miles away! I like the looks of a place like that, and a convenient shopping center a mile away, so I don't have to use a 1/4 tank anytime I get an urge to splurge! It just seems you can't really have "true pastoral scenery" with the "suburban accouterments" without some "inconvenience" or great expense!

CC - I do avail myself of the many things online - I just ordered Taylor Ham which will arrive by UPS next Thursday, but there is nothing like waiting a couple of minutes for that pizza to come out of the oven and driving 2 blocks to get it home. Those pizzas in the back of the delivery boy's car lose a little something!  |
