Name:

MariJeanne Carino

Town:

Montclair, New Jersey

5 Reasons I Love My Town:

It's very hard to think of just 5 so here are my top 5...
1. Old houses with character
2. A diverse population and a lot of great people
3. Urban-suburban vibe
3. Proximity (to NYC, mountains, shore, airports)
4. Streets you can walk, run or bike on (and we do!)

Reasons I Don't Love My Town:

1. Gas-guzzling SUVs
2. Above-the-law drivers who talk on their cell phones
3. High property taxes
4. Local politics
5. Competitive parenting
