Spring Top 5


Here's my spring-infused Top 5 Reasons Why I Love Collingswood, NJ (my new hometown)

1. A mere 15 minute drive gets me to the Perkins Art Center in Moorestown where I can play with clay.

2. My landlord hung the awning that protects my porch from the elements, and now it feels like I have another room!

3. Cooper River Park. It's fantastic. Plus, my city friends come out and walk with me there. Exercise, fresh air and girl talk... sigh...

4. Quiz Night at the Pop Shop. Local and city friends come together to share the stuff we know, along with fries and ice cream.

5. The ceiling fan in my bedroom. It's a first for me, and my sleep has never been so slumberful.

5. Salt-water taffies.

4. The Sopranos is set there.

3. Walt Whitman's house and grave in Camden.

There you go! Besides, I don't need you to like NJ as a whole ... just the C-dub. You can come smoke on my porch under the awning anytime, my friend.
