Morris Plains

:

It is a real town wit a real downtown and not a development full of identical houses

I am a 7 minute walk from Manhattan (via NJ transit midtown direct), Hoboken, and Newark and a short bicycle ride to Morristown

Best Memorial Day Parade of any small town.

Arthur's steaks, Carmel Haifa's falafel, Aji's sushi, and Time For a Bagels... well... bagels.

So many of my friends live here or in neighboring towns.

:

Hard to be a progressive in a right-leaning town.

That giant hulk of a building never occupied by Waner Lambert/Pfizer/Johnson & Johnson.

The traffic bottleneck where Speedwell crosses under the train tracks

We've lived here for 18 years, and if we live here 18 more we'll still be among "the new people"

One square mile and 7 bank brnches... it' like the Switzerland of Morris County.
