Hey here's a vision for a state! Let's just build 4 bedroom homes and luxury apartments everywhere-creating a Los Angeles connected to a New York City. A things are the thing mentality-let's put so much pressure on ourselves that we use a GPS to get there as we go. See how far our drive takes us...like into each other lanes-whether we're driving or maneuvering to be first onto a train.
The big thinkers in the Garden State do try to make life better. Like they improved the road John takes to get to the train station: Oak Tree Road. They knocked down 100 year old Oak Trees to widen it. Oak Treeless Road leads to New Jersey's version of the Valley of the Paraohs - a monument to commuter kings rising tan and square above the Coastal Plain. And the state gave the train station to New York an evocative name that will live on through the ages: MetroPark. A vast, parking garage monument, Meto Park allows the Gods of Wall Street to live among themselves-away from multi-cultural New York City. Partying and working hard in New York City and being silver, mini- van respectible in an upscale New Jersey towns.
John guesses, to confuse desert bandits as to the location of the MetroPark tomb, the State of New Jersey placed conflicting signs on how to enter and park.
'Right lane monthly parking. Not for long term use.'
'Left lane, daily parking, long term on 4th level.'
No discharging people in front station.'
'Yield to pedestrians-it's the law!'
If no one can get out in front of the station, what pedestrians would I yield to? John thinks.
'Oh come on. can't I hit just one' John thinks see the $2000 suiters who just cut off people to park first. And just like in Egypt, John imagines though he's only been to New Egypt NJ, the most impressive posessions in surburban life- mercedes and jags- must be left behind in the tomb: Metro Park. John's possession was a tiny clown car: a GEO Tracker. I hope no one steals it while I'm in NYC John thinks. Well if somebody does...they need to look for a really stupid crook.
