This one, from the Times o' Trentn (as we all know, Treton properly pronounced has only ONE syllable - the second 't' and the 'o' are mostly silent), is especially funny -- the writer has NO CLUE as to why Princeton Borough and Township have steadfastly refused to commingle. He actually believes the township and borough have "the same zeitgeist." HA!

(The tale of two P'tons is an eternal battle of the six-toed townies versus the unwashed arrivistes in the township ... why, their money isn't even two generations old, and they've actually got some! Heathens!)

Why, if you can't remember when Cox's General Store had roasted peanuts in its window, you simply don't belong in the borough, dear ...

(And I remember when it cost $0.27 to travel one way from Kendall Park to Princeton on Suburban Transit .... and EVERYONE thought Kendall Park was  just too declasse to even admit it existed ... never mind Deer Path and Cuyler Rd., both developed by the same parnership as KP, in P'ton township).
