They nailed it. Suburban overbuilt parking lots is definitely the American dream.

Not many walkable communities in NJ aka car haven

So they all went to sleep? What is going on? But to think of it, I think the place you're talking about is behind you.

Concert parking

That's considered reckless driving and 5 points on your license so be careful. Stupid teenage me can personally vouch for that.

Ironically NJ probably has more walkable communities than almost every other state. There are maybe 5 states that have any cities that are actually walkable at all.

I love this too. Thanks for sharing.

NJ has a lot of towns from before cars. They're pretty walkable. Lambertville is the classic example.
I live in East Rutherford down the street from this shot. It's actually really walkable. Bus and train are both walking distance from most of the town. When I want to go to American Dream I can take a bus to get there. It's pretty great these days TBH

Parking lots and sunsets/morning sun appearances are the essence of NJ.

I love blue hour. As a photographer/videographer, I always tell people this is the best time of day. It's better than Golden Hour.

I was confused for a moment trying to figure out when it became a riverside mall
harekele t1_jaw6vhh wrote
You bring up a good point! Red Bank, Atlantic Highlands, Jersey City all come to mind.
Do you know what those other states are by chance? Just curious
Duck_Duck_Penis t1_jaw6xr7 wrote
So I’m gonna assume you live in Harrison and never left the town if you think that
Twiztidtech0207 OP t1_jaw7l76 wrote
Yea idk what stadium this is next to the mall but I took this walking back to the parking structure attached to the mall.
harekele t1_jaw7n74 wrote
Nope, grew up in Middletown. Red Bank is obviously very walkable but no way I could’ve gotten around growing up in mtown without a car. Most of the other towns nearby I’d say the same.
Certain communities have a walkable Downtown nearby in Monmouth county but beyond that I couldn’t imagine not having a car here

I feel like this is probably the best "photo" I've ever taken..if that makes sense..probably not lol

I’m going to check out Lambertville thank you for the rec! Any must sees there?
Twiztidtech0207 OP t1_jaw7s10 wrote
Thank you!
bakerfaceman t1_jaw7wzk wrote
Definitely go across the bridge to New Hope PA while you're there. That's the much bigger and more popular tourist spot. There's beautiful huge houses there.
Twiztidtech0207 OP t1_jaw7x4g wrote
This is true
Twiztidtech0207 OP t1_jaw7zuh wrote
Thank you, I couldn't find a page for the mall
harekele t1_jaw85gg wrote
Oh, now that you mention I actually have been there on that cool windy drive along the water and hike at the Goat Hill Overlook. I want to go and do that cool rail trail there too on my bike. I love New Hope!!!
Never knew much about a downtown in Lambertville though
Twiztidtech0207 OP t1_jaw8esm wrote
Yea I like the picture..not necessarily what the picture is of. Replace the parking lot with a field, and the stadium with a mountain, and I'd be in heaven.
Twiztidtech0207 OP t1_jaw8oqt wrote
Oh yea I'm facing away from the mall..I was walking back to my car..idk what stadium this is in the pic.

Parking lots are the worst.
Twiztidtech0207 OP t1_jawa7v6 wrote
Bunch of empty space that gets used a handful of times a year..Definitely is a waste, even if it makes for a good pic..which in all reality only looks good because of the sky.

This is just the bigger cities but if the cities aren't walkable then generally everywhere in the MSA isn't either. https://www.walkscore.com/cities-and-neighborhoods/

NJ is probably the most walkable state...between the shore towns, Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, New Brunswick...all extremally walkable. Hell most of North Jersey is walkable because the towns are so compact.
Woodstonk69 t1_jawwm2q wrote
Everyone’s talking about this as if that parking lot isn’t for MetLife stadium
Twiztidtech0207 OP t1_jawy1rs wrote
Yea that does sound familiar lol I honestly didn't know what it was called or what exactly they use it for even.
Duck_Duck_Penis t1_jax50op wrote
I mean in the West Essex area and North Bergen are plenty of towns where - if you had a job in town - it wouldn't be necessarily essential to own a car
Meetybeefy t1_jax838u wrote
Decades of building nothing but suburban sprawl and 55+ retirement communities has made NJ unattainable for anyone except car-brained Boomers.
Look at the comments of any news article about a new development in the state. “What about the parking!?”

Most of the state outside of North Jersey is unwalkable suburban sprawl.
Though most Shore towns are pretty walkable, as much as locals try to fight it.

All I can see in this photo is $40 per parking space add up quick.

The beauty is that they are walkable to each other. Great restaurants in Lambertville and usually cheaper and less crowded. Cheaper parking and far more accessible. New Hope just has a lot more and a bit more hip. I like to park in Lambertville, walk across the bridge, grab drinks and shop in New Hope, walk back across, and dine in Lambertville. It's a great way to enjoy the best of what the two towns offer.
