Douglas Kelly, 39, Haddon Township resident
``I think it will be one of the nicest communities south of Princeton because it's a suburb of Philadelphia ... This thoroghfare - Haddonfield, Haddon Township and Collingswood - I predict will be the next main line...'' |

Carol Tennis, 40, Oaklyn section of Haddon Township
`In the next eight years, we need more crosswalks on Cuthbert Boulevard. They also need some better lights out there.'' |

Jim Repenning, 44, from Westmont section of Haddon Township
``I think that right now we're in the process of rebirth. The older people are moving out and younger people are moving in, many of the people who grew up in Haddonfield... With the natural parklands in Haddon Township and the good schools, it's a nice place to live and it's only going to get better.'' |

Bill Getzinger, 60-year Haddon Township resident and businessman
``We're going to see beautification projects on the avenue and a couple of major construction sites. We'll see a new administration and a relaxation of restrictions to businessmen. There will be more cafe-coffee shops on the avenue and more signs permitted, tastefully.'' |
