What do you think will be different in Medford Lakes in 2010?

Dave Acree, 48, Medford Lakes, owner of Dogwatch Hidden Fence company ``I think it'll lose a little of its charm to development as more people bring busier lives into this town.'' |

Lorraine Bechtel, self-employed, Medford Lakes ``I think real estate will keep appreciating, but I think it'll be more congested here as the farms in the area get sold.'' |

Art Sorino, 47, Medford, owner of Sorino's Liquors on Stokes Road ``I think people will continue falling in love with some of the old log cabins and improve them. You pay a little more in taxes, but you get what you pay for - a lifestyle that is a little more laid back.'' |

Karen Schumacher, 44, Medford Lakes ``I think it will be more family oriented ... more community events, everyday, not just annual and semi-annual events.'' |

John Motzel, 11, Medford Lakes ``I bet they'll have more bike paths. It's a safe way for kids to get around.'' |
