half the time I'm gone, don't know where

Every now and again, I get the urge to hop in my car and explore. I point the car in a general direction and turn when the desire strikes.
Today's adventure started on 206 south with the intention of going to trenton. I wanted to go all the way to 29 so that i could go north to lambertville. 206 is really nice going to lawrenceville. You go over 95 and you're in this cool little neighborhood with original homes. Then, you go through a traffic circle, and it gets a bit dicey. There's quite a bit of potential; the architecture is great, and the design of the homes promote community, as the front porches face the street and act as gathering spots. However, it's like a vacuum. I imagine that that place will always be the same somehow, and that it just sucks things in and keeps them in. There are some revitalization projects going on, and I think that it might be cool to live there. At least it might be somewhat more interesting that living in plainsboro. Maybe not as safe, but there are trade-offs in everything.
I'd like to explore the Trenton area a bit more, as it may be fun. I can only go into princeton so often before i lose interest.
