Commerce

Ups and Downs

I reverse commute from Brooklyn to Mahwah, NJ three times a week. I was pleased to see that commercial construction on Route 17 is still happening. Then I realized something: The construction is limited to two luxury car showrooms (Porsche and BMW) and a Gas station! That's depressing, and more in line with my recent craigslist experiences. I couldn't sell a $400 tv stand for $5, listed for almost a month. Put on the free stuff list I got 20 emails in 24 hours!
