ROTFLMAO!!! Just look at all those farmers getting by on welfare checks! Are you for real?
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!!!

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 )
I would keep my house in Lk Hopatcong
Have a brownstone in downtown Jersey City ( my roots is JC)
and a house somewhere on the water at the Jersey shore...Spring Lake, Avon by the Sea
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!
I buy pretty much everything online, so no biggie (Pizza included! )
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!
