New addition to this blog

If you've gotten this far onto the page, then you've already spotted it. I'm not a huge fan of bells and whistles on my pages, but some things are just too big to ignore. In this case, the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Tangentially, it's related to my blog, because, building all of these roads with curb cuts to nowhere is just another way of showing how much we love our cars...and feed the beasts.

White Horse Pike, Clementon, Camden County, NJ




Here are some images of a long-ago abandoned shopping center in Clementon, Camden County, NJ. The word disgrace comes to mind when pondering Camden County's revitalization efforts.

Turnersville-Hicktown Road, Gloucester Township, New Jersey




This the only undeveloped corner of this T intersection. I guess they're hoping for the best.


Notice how the curb cut is right at the traffic signal in the bottom photo.
