Enclaves of housing development

Yonkers Waterfront

A crew started clearing the woods down the road from my place early this year. I'd been wondering what they were building and finally, they put up a sign. It will be The Enclave, a set of luxury villas. Haha. Either they think that the real estate market will be back by the time they finish construction or that there won't be a severe downturn in this area. Lots of corporate executives and well-to-do people live in this town so they may be right about that, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Anyway, I'm just about done packing. So I'll head out to Pittsburgh starting late tonight. 20-25 geocaches if the weather is good and I've already picked the lunch place. Remarkably, someone placed a geocache at Blakeslee Corners in the Poconos, where I stop for Wawa, so I'm looking forward to that. See you at Anthrocon!

Argh. Columbus was a "city on the make" as it were and you couldn't throw a stone without hitting a Lexus SUV or a BMW. Most of the shopping in the area is of the pretentious and expensive variety.

Couldn't stand it, myself.

That pretty much describes most downtown / Main St. areas in Northern New Jersey and Westchester. The shopping is too upscale for my blood.
