One Flavor of Surburbia
Columbia, NJ Early morning in the neighborhood. I couldn't get over how many copies of the same house there were in one place.

Your comment and this great shot immediately made me think of this satirical song'
I expect you'll remember it.

It's funny that's what it's like. Little boxes. When you are in the neighborhood they look unique but once you get above them everything is the same. There are a few different models but they're kind of cookie cutter boxes.This is the way people are getting used to living now. One flavor of lifestyle.

I do remember this song. I haven't thought about it in years. Thanks for the memory.

At least they are clean and modern

It's nice if you lie conformity.  The neighborhood is pretty to drive through. They are well equipped modern homes. I kind of liked the spralling look from the air.

The curved layout is much more agreeable than a rigid grid pattern.

Older than me

It's much better. It flows.

How old are you. I'm 61.

Quite a bit more than that
But not quite enough to have been a contemporary of your parents

Got it. Glad to see you're active. It keeps you young.

So far as I'm concerned, I'm Peter Pan

No rectangular grid but still rather monotonous... Interesting shot though

That's Awesome. That's the way it should be.

I got to 21 and stopped ( In my head, at least )

That's a great place to stop, physically, maybe a little older would be preferred mentally. I made allot of mistakes back then.

Didn't we all
Still do, occasionally.

Oh, yeah, now it's exacerbated by forgetfulness.

It's funny Blériot53 said the same thing. It's trues when you look at that spread of all the same houses you can't help but think that.

Looks like they had a choice of roof tile colour though

Slight deviations just to make you feel like you had a choice.

Great shot!    Reminds me of what we call locally a cookie cutter neighborhood.

This is the way of building today. No distinct looking homes for the middle class.

Wouldn't work for me.  Oh well, I guess I don't have to worry about it.

If you're not in the market you don't  Lucky you.

Yeah, I have no plans of ever moving off my mini-yacht.  When I kick the bucket they can just bury me at sea.

I guess you want a viking's funeral. Thy can shoot a flaming arrow or throw a torch in your boat with you in it?

After all the years I've spent at sea that would be a fitting end.  Although I'd hate to see such a nice boat go down in flames. I guess they could always use my 24 footer for that purpose.

You have two?  That's twice the maintenance. You must love them.

The 24 footer is my runabout boat.  The 72 footer is my live aboard.
