for the basketball courts, tossed
baseballs back and forth, flung
Frisbees and played kickball.

It is human nature: Once
I have mine, I don't care quite as much
if you get yours.
It was true with chocolate

we adults call the American Dream. Just
about all of us want it: nice homes, safe
communities, great schools and, especially
in a place like Putnam County — "Come
to where the country begins"—
no crowds and lots and lots of green space.

Putnam
Courier
March 3, 2006
Putnam developer Paul
Camarda hopes to reverse the Putnam paradox.
In announcing plans for
the 183,000 square-foot. Stateline Retail
Centre Monday, Camarda told members of the
Southeast Planning Board the 45 acre parcel
off Route 6 about one mile from the New
York-Connecticut border was the "perfect
location. The four mile stretch of state
highway from Route 684 to the Danbury border
is the most overbuilt road found anywhere
in Putnam County. The road is 46 feet wide-
wider than Route 84. It carries only 7,000
vehicles a day, as compared to Route 22
- a highway only 24 -feet wide that carries
in excess of 25,000 vehicles a day.
