Carole, Somervil...AC, you're welcome, anytime.<br /><br />Carole, Somerville has a unique charm. After living there for 10 years, then leaving and returning again, I rediscover its uniqueness.<br /><br />Sandra, it is to the town's credit that the courthouse was saved and restored as its the centerpiece you see when entering the town. The Woolworth store that is now an antiques marketplace is enjoying a rebirth. But, the old lunch counter is no longer there. Grenville said he remembers the toy section being on the lower level too.<br /><br />Grace, yes Somerville is charming. Thanks for the compliment on the photo collages which are so simple in Picasa with little forethought needed.<br /><br />Daisy, yes and yes.<br /><br />Thanks Elaine, it's a great thing that it's still there to be seen and admired.<br /><br />Hey Sara, and YOU did a great job of adding more information about Somerville by your comments. It was great to see you and David when we were back in town.Beatrice P.

Yet we are in the heart of everything: major highways, railroad, major hospitals,huge mall, Rutgers University and Raritan Valley College, parks, etc all so close. And right in between New York City and Philadelphia--both about an hour away. Yes--it is a super place to live.
