Crowded lots and crazy drivers

I’m not sure what possessed us, but Annie and I took a ride up to the Nassau Park shopping center in West Windsor to do a last-minute exchanges and hit Sam’s Club for some provisions.

After finishing up at Sam’s we grabbed some food at the new Mexican place. In the time it took us to walk there, order and sit down, the quiet parking lot turned into a massive traffic jam, cars everywhere. It looked like Giants Stadium after a game or a concert, only the traffic was coming in as well as going out.

Now, this is a bad lot in the middle of March, a traffic nightmare; three days before Christmas? Well, I should have known better.

But that’s not the point. The center’s management company should have known better and had security personnel out in force, directing traffic, managing crowds they had to know were coming.

I’ve learned my lesson. Has management?
