Secaucus has been and continues to be a great town to live in but as with anything there are pros and cons. The cons are the lack of a supermarket within the town and political chaos.

We went from 2 supermarkets to none. How is that possible? There are supermarkets that are close but that still isn't the same as right in the center of town, which was convenient. We have movie theatres galore and now Xanadu opening (sometime in 2009- may postpone August 2009 opening with only 70% leased) wants to bring in another movie theatre as well as bowling, indoor snow dome, etc. I am not sure but I don't think we need another movie theatre. Secaucus is still ranked #11 in NJ Monthly as one of the best places to live in NJ and I still agree but people can we get a supermarket in the town?!

Our second dilemma in this wonderful town is in our political arena. The mayor of our fair town is not liked by many and on a weekly basis our town paper is filled with letters of disapproval of the mayor's job. It also doesn't help him that he's trying to get rid of a council man that many people actually like. I really wish they would get back to the more important issues like a supermarket.

I am really being light hearted about these situations. These things came to mind while reading our local news and it made me laugh. The circumstances may change but the news is pretty much the same in the articles, some for and some against. Next time I write I will be on all the positives of Secaucus because I do like the town. It's small, quaint (with some new developments), and quiet with a good school district for my daughter. Of course, low crime rate a big plus too.
