Apartment Complexes Need Not Contain Complex Apartments

Because sometimes simple functionality works best, no?

So anyway, if you're thinking of moving to Edison, be prepared to worship the ground Thomas Edison walked on. Because indeed Mr. Edison walked on Edison's grounds, having kept his main laboratory in the city. Befitting of a city partially put on the map by bourgeois ingenuity, Edison has been honored by both CNN and Money Magazine as a place worthy of living, above and beyond the capacities of its inferior competitors. But that's not all! Even U.S. News and World Report felt compelled to get in on the praiseworthy action with its ranking of Edison as one of America's 10 Best Places to Grow Up.

Keep in mind, Edison is currently urging its residents to bear the possibility of future storm damage that unfortunately Edison was unable to invent against. But we suppose that's just one of the punches one must roll with on the eastern seaboard. That and earthquakes.

Edison's White Paper

A ""white paper"" being an overview of a given product or concept, usually bandied about in the corporate world. But the term should suffice for our purposes here too. After all, Edison is a ""product"" you're considering ""purchasing,"" at least in a way, no? Yes.

Seeing as how the mother of all inventors once made Edison a veritable second home in the Menlo Park area of town - coincidentally the name of a Silicon Valley city in California itself no stranger to inventive entrepreneurs - it's not hard to think of the city as something worth pocketing like the ultimate urban gadget. Or app. Apps are so in right now.

Edison's accumulation of accolades from the likes of CNN, Money Magazine, and U.S. News and World Report make it a force to be reckoned with, we reckon. Adding to the list of Edison's virtues is its humility: Nowhere on the home page of its hunky dory website will you find any mention of the above praise. In fact no mention of said lavishments can be found anywhere at all via the town's official web presence. That's overdoing the humility if you ask us. Getting your fill of humble pie is one thing. Stuffing yourself silly on it, quite another.

Oh yea, Susan Sarandon lives here.

Getting Out, And Being All About, Edison

Edison's got the goods. Good times, good food, maybe even too good to be true. In addition to the town's farmers market (handily included in the ""good food"" category), you've got over 22 neighborhood parks featuring recreational activities for kids of all ages. But mostly actual kids it would appear. We'd be remiss not to mention the Menlo Park Mall. For you Facebook freaks out there, you'll be happy to know you can like it!

On the less generic tip, and getting back to Edison's essence, explore the Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park and learn all you need to know about the ""Wizard of Menlo Park,"" as the man's been dubbed. Consider it an irony that Mr. Edison, who did so much to advance practical science, is referred to here as a wizard. We blame the influence of the Harry Potter films.

There's more to be seen and heard in Edison, but you'll have to employ your own five senses (and maybe even your sixth) from here on out to find out what exactly all that entails.
