How this plays out will go a long way toward determining how the public views Christopher Christie and whether he can legitimately be seen as the man to clean up New Jersey.

I’m feeling a bit old these days. Consider these photos:
Now consider this story. I was wearing a t-shirt over the weekend emblazon
ed with a picture of John Lennon, a peace symbol and a flag (at right). My niece was in from Iowa. Hannah, who is 8, saw the shirt and asked if it was Harry Potter. I laughed, told her it was John Lennon. Her response: Who is he?
Yes, feeling a bit old.

This has been a development long in the making, a proposed science and research center on Route 1 at the township’s border with Plainsboro — a proposal that meets the zoning agreed to by the Township Council and Princeton University back in 2003 as part of a swap of zoning for open space that met little opposition at the time.
On first blush, this development seems a good idea: Loads of tax revenue should be coming our way, while muhc of the impact should take place away from residential areas.
But it is unclear what the traffic impact maybe — whether Route 1 will grow worse, whether Ridge Road or Route 522 will be affected, whether Kingston might find itself deluged.
Kingston residents had some early concerns, but were assuaged by the donation of significant open space, property that is part of a green belt designed to protect the village from encroaching development.
We’ve received one letter about the project — opposed — but it seems too early to react. Let’s see what the final plan looks like before we make up our minds.
