Grew up in Hopewell ( remember Lindbergh )
Fled to Vermont when kids came, didn't want to raise mall rats.

been living in the pines of Medford for the past 15 years or so. anytime I need to go to a VW event, its at least a 45 minute drive. But it is quiet and I can see all the stars at night so I guess life is good.
Lets not talk about taxes, ok?

In Fanwood? |
In Fanwood, Arlene Ct. Drove a Corvair vert and then a MG Midget while most of my friends were rolling late 60's beetles. After I moved away in the early 80's I had a friend's parents who would leave their split bus at Newark airport so I could fly in and drive down to Atlantic Highlands to go sail on a Hobie cat. fun times.

I have lived in Bergen County, NJ all of my life. Not a bad place to live, really. Though I've seen many other areas of the country in my travels, no place is perfect in every way. There will always be a give and take.
Not wanting to jump down a rabbit hole, I'll just say I could "give" up NJ winters and taxes. But other than that, it's where my family and friends are, so it's home.

Wow!! That crazy! i was there from 2006-2016. I could have walked to Arlene Ct from my house on Waldon road!! When i used to tell people i lived in Fanwood they would say "where?" I'm back down the shore where i grew up now
