"Pennington's small-town atmosphere and highly
rated school system [also, The Pennington School, a private day and
boarding school] are big draws for young families. Because the borough is
so small, children can easily walk to the two-block-long downtown and
parents rarely have to drive their children to play dates or after-school
activities. Pennington is just far enough off the beaten path that its tiny
downtown has not yet been discovered by the national chains. There is no
Starbucks, no Gap. Drive-through fast-food restaurants are banned. There
are, however, a bank, a drugstore, a cobbler, a pizza parlor, a hardware
store, several gift shops and restaurants. Pennington also has a small
number of condominiums, town houses and rental apartments, he said, an
adult community for those 55 and over and an assisted living facility for
seniors." --- Adapted from The New York Times, May 18, 2003.
