Fort Lee

:

First, I wish I could be in Montlcair on the first. Sadly, I cannot.

1. My home and view of the GWB and my terrace and the spa amenities. Sadly, my husband died 3 years ago. His ashes are under the bridge that came to be so much a part of our lives, the one we so loved, and I still do.
2. Walk or ride over the bridge to NYC.
3. Good for healthy walking.
4. I have always worked with kids in urban communities. Wish I knew more about the Asian community in Fort Lee.

:

1. Traffic
2. Due to traffic, I take as much care as possible in inviting people to visit, to dine, to enjoy. I do not like to inconvenience people.
3. Even before the rececession, the poor business quality and ethnic divide and the old Helmsley mess.
4. There are dedicated people for decades who try to tout the history here and make it work. Sadly, it has not been done and there is little to write home about.

The Brian Lehrer Show is coming to New Jersey! On Tuesday August 30th, The Brian Lehrer Show will broadcast live from Montclair State University. Tickets are free, sign up at the Events page here.
