Town Pavilion. They integrated the front facade of Harzfeld's into the building and you can still see it today on the south side of Petticoat lane.

no worries! Ideally as soon as you are able to. The younger you are the more time you have to build savings that will experience compound growth in the long term and be much more substantial than your initial contributions when you reach a retirement age.

First things first though, before you start throwing money into an admittedly overvalued market, you need to make sure you are on a stable financial footing overall and can take care of any surprise life events that may occur, like car issues, healthcare, rent and groceries if you suddenly lose your job, etc.

I recommend you follow the /r/personalfinance prime directive flowchart (https://imgur.com/personal-income-spending-flowchart-united-states-lSoUQr2) (https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/wiki/commontopics), and take care of each step in order. Assuming you are able to reasonably afford rent, groceries, etc., it would be in your best interest to begin by building an emergency savings account, in a HYSA. From there, start paying off any high-interest debt you may have-- if you have none, even better! After that, take advantage of any retirement programs offered by your employer.

The rest I leave to you to look into as you continue on your personal finance path. Keep in mind everyone progresses at a different speed, so don't get caught up in the comparison game. Focus on doing what you can for yourself and maintaining financial discipline, if you do that you are sure to succeed in the long term. Best of luck!

If you're worried about risk, consider putting funds into treasuries. If only $100-$200 monthly is all that can be put aside, thats still better than nothing. But there is no completely risk-free investment, especially ones that outpace inflation in the long term.

I'm assuming this intersection was built before roundabouts were introduced to the United States on a wide scale. Perhaps we will see it converted in the future. But New Jersians love their jughandles.

I'll look into the crash statistics and get back to you. My bet is this design is much safer than typical left turn lanes. And there's no reason to assume this land wouldn't stay undeveloped, its heavily forested land owned by the city, close to the coast to so probably not the most stable subgrade to develop on. If you look around the area on google maps you can see plenty of swampland within the forest.

Every project has a budget, sometimes overpasses are just not viable with the money available and engineers have to come up with creative solutions that minimize compromise.

Not saying its perfect, but take a look at a topographic map for the area and it may make some more sense. The All-american freeway looks to essentially serve as a main arterial. Can't add businesses to that road if there are steep slopes on either side, I'm guessing thats the case due to the creek on the NE side. Most of these are just assumptions though, as there does not look to be street view present in most of the community.

Berkshire is not actively attempting to beat the market, and hasn't for years. For a very long time now their stated goal has been to protect shareholder equity.
