Technology with a dose of irony

[hillarysherwood]

This weekend I went up to the local Apple Store in Woodcliff Lake to check out iPods and laptops. My home computer is a Performa 6300 that I bought around 1996, and I wanted to actually type on and use some laptops before I decide what to order. Well, guess where they built this Apple Store? In a former apple orchard. It's located in what's now

There's still some garden in the Garden State, apparently.

Don't buy an iPod till you've talked with me.

No more Tice's Farm :(

I started thinking today, out of the blue, I have no clue why, about Tice's Farm. My parents moved to Bergen County in '72, to Ridgewood and then onto Franklin Lakes. Growing up we used to go to Tice's Farm and I remember all the things you mentioned - apples and the cider and donuts. People went on hayrides and they have fancily painted pumpkins and scarecrows and I think I remember a big red building like a barn. Always we went a couple weeks or so before Halloween. One of the reasons I'm in Alaska now is I just can't stand the developers' greedy need to turn every square acre of farmland or woods into homes or stores. I still get homesick every now and again. Alaska's my home now but Bergen County is where I grew up and yes, I am proud of that. I eventually come to my senses but once in a blue moon I feel like i really wanna move back. Doing so won't bring Tice's Farm back, though. A nice memory but it'll always be very sad what's become of it
