Time For Sprawl In Connecticut

4 March 2006 - 9:00am

A New Jersey native wants to see Garden State sprawl head north.

"I've been excited about sprawl in Connecticut for a while, and apparently I'm not alone."

"As a New Jersey native, I'd argue the Garden State is tragically under-rated as an aesthetic experience. Cracked concrete in the rain, the rainbow reflection of oil deposits, the sky always framed by power lines. There are pockets of woods and such left in Jersey, but why bother to seek out the pedestrian splendor of nature when there’s a feast of artificial beauty?"
