[quote="iamawino"]http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/realestate/cranbury-nj-one-town-many-personalities.html “What makes Cranbury Great” to you??? To go with that my family's thoughts which I have posted here before. “What makes Cranbury Great” ---------------------------- When my wife and I first meet I lived in Plainsboro. Having lived in the area we always loved driving through Cranbury. One of Marina's dreams at the time was to live here and skate on the lake with our "future" kids. A couple winters ago that dream finally came true, we went skating on the lake with Alexander and Kristopher! This is one thing for us that makes Cranbury Great. To me, I always have a peaceful feeling just driving through town, seeing families walking their kids to school, there are not many towns in NJ for sure that you see that. I also enjoy just looking at the historic houses, and how well the majority of our houses are kept. This is what makes Cranbury Great! There are so many events throughout the year that makes Cranbury Special (If I miss any...sorry) The Drug Free Fair Cranbury Day Cranstock Canoe races Camping in the park with friends and neighbors while the kids watch a movie. Lions Club Breakfast Our Parades The Helene Cody Race Historical Society House Tour The great organizations that make up our community from the Church's, Boy and Girl Scouts, Lions Club and the Historical Society. Our Township committee, putting politics aside not only the present committee but the past ones have made us a town that people admire. Again putting politics aside, I think the current committee makes Cranbury Great! Our Schools and teachers. I talk to many people outside of our community who know how good our schools are and what that offers for the future of our kids. This is what makes Cranbury Great! Our parks, we have so many nice parks in town, they are what makes Cranbury Great! Our Police, so many of them know many residents on a first name basis. That is what makes Cranbury Great! Our volunteer Fireman and First Aid squad protecting our families on their own free time. This is what makes Cranbury Great! Our public works department, they do such a good job at keeping our town neat and clean. This is what makes Cranbury Great! The many business that are in town. I am sure it is not easy running a business in such a small town but they all do their best and supporting them is what makes Cranbury Great! The Cranbury Swim Club and the Catfish Swim Team. What a great place to meet new friends (both adults and kids). Just to be able to get off work at the end of a hot stressful day and then be able to have a glass of wine with a friend and cool off. This is what makes Cranbury Great! (Lets hope we can keep this one!!) I hope it is OK to "toot" my own horn, Christmas Spectacular on Main Street. Not because of what I do but because of the 1000's of people it brings joy to and donate so much for those in need. This it what makes Cranbury Great! From My Family, this is truly what makes Cranbury Great! Our neighbors, I cannot say more and there are far too many names to mention who fall into this most important category. I know that we all have great neighbors but none are better than mine! From helping out with the boys in a pinch, trusting them to watch our kids or just having all the neighborhood kids playing together, this is what makes Cranbury Great! With the two major events I hold each year for charity I can always count on them to help. Without the help that so many of my neighbors give it really wouldn't be possible...so it is my neighbors that make Cranbury Great! Keith A. Shaw[/quote]
