Health Care - 9/4/2009
In general, Health Care here is good. Lots of MD's, lots of Chiropractors, not so many Acupuncturists and Massage Therapists. If you have a serious MD related health problem, a lot of people go to Philadelphia to either U of Penn or Jefferson Hospital to get checked out or taken care of. Not to say the MD's here aren't good. A lot of times the MD's refer their tougher cases to Phila.[read more...] |

Zip Codes hardly divide the problem - 9/27/2007
We live in zip code 08619 and the street around the corner is 08620 and a couple blocks on the other side is 08690. Trenton is 08611 and for the most part gangs hover there being its inner city.
The other problem is that one of the High Schools known as the Emerald City school is a playground for alcohol and drugs. The superintendent keeps it quiet and away(as much as possible) from the newspapers. But the truth is that if you moving close by this school and your kids will either pass by it or attend there be sure to check their pockets. That school has a record of pushers selling drugs to middle school children.
But there are problems with anywhere you go, whether its gangs, drugs, smog, cost of living, you name its there believe it.
Hamilton\Mercerville is a nice family place and being close to the parks has its advantages. One of the largest parks\lake in the state of NJ and family\friends make good use out of it.[read more...] |
