A House Is Not Necessarily Always a Home
Great Swamp, NJ - jack - Sunday, February 11th, 2007 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
i caught this shot as i was passing through the great swamp. the swamp is bordered by meyersville and harding township in morris county, new jersey. i first saw this house being built approx. in 1988 and it never sold. it was built on contaminated waste and asbestos and they were never able to sell it. the house still stands till today, getting shabbier and shabbier as each year passes. no family rooms, no laughter in its hallways, no bbq's no family party's, no children playing on swings, just barren land around a contaminated house. no one cares. the government could have cleaned it up and a homeless family could have lived there. but money got in the way. money before children and family.

It Looks a great house it's a shame it's on Contaminated Land.Some one must have too much money to build a house like that and leave it they must'nt of done there home work before they built it
elaine: bordered by miseryvill and hardship....
jack: good twist with words to show the reality of it.

sometimes i misread things in an interesting way - i can't really claim authorship as much as a kind of pebble finding nose

actually the awamp is ok, its the ground around the area where they built the house, they must have dumped something there years back.
