It's really great how helpful people are on these
lists. I've had lots of great responses to my own
inquiries. To those of us who actually still LIVE in
the area, though, it sometimes is humorous when we see
directions posted incorrectly. The funniest one was
when the movie "The Crossing" was airing and someone
wrote to the lists that "there is a place a little
north of Trenton and it's called Washington's Crossing
and it's right about where he crossed the river".
Imagine that!
