Route 9, Tuckerton

On the way back from visiting Smithville* (GSP Exit 48) on Monday, I decided to take the scenic route back to Monmouth County by driving on route 9 instead of the Parkway. I’ve never been interested in owning any property in that part of the state, because it is too far south for me, but you can see that plenty of people are apparently interested. Just outside of Tuckerton, while driving north on route 9, you would have been hard pressed not to run over a house for sale sign if you happened to run off the road.

(*If you are ever in desperate need of a zany lawn ornament, a decorative door stop made of yarn, or a Christmas ornament in August, or anything else that is entirely unnecessary, then you can probably pick it up in one of the many knick-knack crap-attack stores in “historic” Smithville NJ.)
