Name:

Rebecca Feldman

Town:

Morristown, NJ

5 Reasons I Love My Town:

I can walk to downtown for coffee, clothes (Century21) and great restaurants.
I can walk to the Midtown Direct and be in the City in an hour
I can road (or mountain bike) ride through woods and horse farms just minutes from downtown.
Diverse people and close-knit neighborhoods.
We are surrounded by history and appreciate it - George Washington spent two winters here.

Reasons I Don't Love My Town:

Pioneer Plaza needs to be "greened".
The divide between cultures needs to be bridged.
Sometimes I have to drive to a mall to shop.
Duplication of services with surrounding towns adds to our tax burden.
Route 287 is convenient but the State doesn't care for its Right of Way in our Town.
