Brandywine Glen is located off of Hartford Road in Moorestown and is full of distinctive homes.  Most were built in the mid '90s and no two are the same.  The homes here very beautiful and when I was driving by I stopped off and take a few pictures.  With large yards and private settings, this is a wonderful to place to call home.  In fact, Randall Cunningham lived here when he was the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles.  If you're ever in the area, I recommend taking a quick drive though!    Visit my photo set on Flickr to view more pictures of Moorestown  08/28/2008

While my wife grew up in Moorestown, I’ve been a resident for about 8 years.  Every year, for the past 4 years, we’ve had a block party.  Unless you were at the block party, I’m sure you could care less about that, but…..We just found out this year that Moorestown has Volleyball, Badminton, Croquet sets and much more available for you to use at your Block Party!  Now that’s a hometown!! I knew Moorestown was a great place to live because of its’ schools, parks, proximity to Philadelphia, New York, Washington DC etc., but to know that the town actually lets you borrow stuff to make your block party even better is awesome! So if you’ve just moved to Moorestown, or you’ve been a Moorestown resident for your entire life, start working on your block party.  The township is happy to let you b... 08/26/2008

The photo above is of the Moorestown Community House located on Main Street in Moorestown NJ.  It's history goes back to 1926.  While many buildings from that time have a more colonial feel, the Community House was a combination of English & Colonial styles to help mimimize the cost to upkeep a brick exterior.  If you visit the Community House website, you can read more about the history around the development of this building.  Today, the House is home to many clubs and organizations with meeting rooms, offices, a gym and indoor swimming pool.  In fact, I took my swimming lessons at this pool when I was growing up!  This photo is in my Moorestown, NJ photo set on Flickr.  All rights reserved  08/19/2008
