Day 34 - morning walk around New Jersey - ranting! February 3rd

My first rant today is about how well-to-do suburbs make it hard for their residents to get outside and be active. I am going to pick on Bridgewater Township, New Jersey, where I was yesterday on a business trip. I didn't take photos of the many iced over sections of sidewalk that were positively precarious. But here are some photos of what it was like to walk from my hotel (the Marriott Bridgewater) to the mall across the street. 

People are supposed to walk on this?

This sidewalk needs to be cleared!

My second point of complaint is about how we recognize our service men and women in this country. Why do we have to put our history shamefully out of the way? While there was a beautiful bridge dedicated to Sergeant Lobosco from Bridgewater who gave his life for his country,  the plaque and bridge are so out of the way that I don't think anyone really looks at it. In Boston, I love how the Holocaust Memorial is front and center in people's experience as they go between Government Center and Faneuil Hall. Bridgewater could learn a lesson there.
