Where I spent my morning

While my daughter was not having fun at Funplex this morning, I went to a place called Centerton Square in Mt. Laurel. Here's a nice aerial view. Just to give you a sense of scale, it's about 3/4 mile long and 1/4 mile wide at its widest point. Maybe someone who likes math more than me can estimate the number of parking spaces. My favorite physical feature is the road that goes all the way around the back. I saw cars going back there trying to exit the place. Don't think that worked out too well. And notice the Acme across the street from Wegmans. I wonder whose idea that was?

Does this not look like the least inviting thing in the world, even if you like to shop? Does so-called convenience matter so much that you're willing to subject yourself to a place like this? I sure hope I never find myself there again.

A couple of asides- Mt. Laurel seemed pretty flat for something with "Mount" in its name. Also, why would a camp have their reunion at a place like Funplex, which is just a huge arcade with a bowling alley in it? Isn't the point of a reunion to be able to catch up with people you haven't seen for a while? How are you supposed to carry on a conversation in a place like that? Give me the bar/bat mitzvah-style reunion any day.
