Cranford could not be more centrally located. Great for commuters to NYC and other parts of NJ. I’m a five minute walk to the state’s highest rated downtown as well as the lovely Rahway River. The Garden State is also a five minute drive. Location, location, location!
I like the town a lot! It is a small but great town to do many things around you. You are in the center of all. I like to go to the beach during the summer so it is close by only an hour. And in the winter I like to go snowboarding, causing me to travel and pay a lot of money to do these activites. So if this scholarship will help pay towards my school. It can help my dreams of becoming a professional snowboarder.
I grew up in Cranford, left, then returned for 3 years to sell my parents home and have seen many bad changes in downtown. It has become a drinking mecca with too many drunk drivers going home unscathed from police. Where are clothing stores and other interesting stores to justify your parking meter money. It's nothing more than a boring, greedy, alcoholic town. Good riddance!
