So I live in Delran, which is in Southern New Jersey in Burlington County and neighbors Moorestown & Mt. Laurel. Over the past few years there has been major retail development in the area at the expense of open space and a driving range (yes, I'm a golfer wanna be). At first glance, this is appears to be a great thing. More stores, more homes, more residents and signs of a growing community. But when you stop and think about it, it's all the same! Now I'm all for convenience, but I have to say this is overkill.
Within 5 minutes of my house in different directions, I have access to the following:
2 Targets, Chick-Fil-A's, Subway Restaurants, Dunkin Donuts
3 Drug Stores (not including the ones in the grocery or Target)
4 Grocery Stores (do we really eat that much?!?!?)
5 Starbucks - Come on now, how much coffee can we really drink?!?
And at least 7 pizza shops if not more!
Now I know I'm in the minority here...but bring back the driving range!!
Oh Ravi
It sounds like your house used to be the driving range! Having lived in NJ for many years, I understand how your feeling. Urban Sprawl has hit massive proportions. Eventhe pines have been developed. Try Maryland!
