| Wed, 17 Aug 2005 12:00:00 EST Road trip: the ends against the middle |
| This past weekend I drove up to visit friends in New York. I've been in all 50 states and all 435 congressional districts; there are few populated parts of the United States that I haven't seen. So I decided to take a new route, up Interstate 95 through Philadelphia and into New Jersey and then north on U.S. Route 206 until I hooked up with Interstate 287. U.S. 206 took me through Lawrenceville and Princeton and, although I'd been in Princeton many times before, I was stunned by the beauty of those towns, the beautiful houses and stunning old buildings, the perfectly tended green lawns, etc. These are affluent towns; I imagine the big old houses in Princeton run over $1 million. |
