A Random Observation of the Garden State Parkway.

Driving south on the Garden State Parkway, just after the Driscoll Bridge, I recently noticed there are two large billboards with realty company advertisements. The billboard on the left (heading south) is for Weichert and the billboard on the right is for Diane Turton. These billboards seem to be strategically placed to welcome prospective homebuyers from Manhattan, the outer boroughs and Hoboken, to Monmouth County and the Jersey Shore. Also, along Route 9, there seem to be a number billboards for different realtors and developers, like Hovnanian. I’m wondering if there has always been this many real estate advertisements at the Shore or am I just finally noticing them because of all the bubble talk?
