Historically and architecturally a nice building, but because I come here to pay my inflated NJ…read moretaxes I'll never be a fan. Maybe if they lease out a few of the offices to help defray the ever rising tariffs, but I kid of course. I remember when the township library was housed here, but as the collection of books expanded, a larger building was needed. A cynical person might say that this was also another ploy to increase taxes. You can also come here to get a passport or visa, pay your sewer bill( that somehow is not part of that already too high property tax bill) get building permits, and find out why your dbag neighbors are complaining about the length of your lawn. I imagine the mayor has a sweet office here as well, where she can come to get away from the stress of all those ribbon cuttings and photo ops. Now that I'm reflecting on all of this, I'm probably being generous with the third star.

I had to obtain the paperwork to renew my passport while on business in Hamilton Square, and found…read morethe Mercer County Connection to be exceptionally organized. The employee that I worked with (Caucasian female, brunette, late 40s, attractive) was incredibly thorough in going over the renewal process to the point of it being slightly overwhelming. Nonetheless, I was able to complete the application renewal process in a matter of minutes, as well as obtain my passport photo at a cost of $15. I'm not sure if the cost of the two pictures (one was an extra) is on the high end of things when it comes to passport pictures, but I wanted to get everything done quickly so that I could send my passport + renewal application directly to Philadelphia for processing. What's convenient about the the Mercer County Connection is that they'll provide you with a USPS envelope + labeling (especially to expedite shipping), as well as the location itself being adjacent to the Acme Save-On grocery store where you can purchase the $170.00 money order for $0.99. I didn't have a checkbook handy at the time, so this location came in handy at the absolute right time. For those that didn't want to pay the $15 for the passport photo, you can go across the street to the CVS Pharmacy or WalGreen's (I forget which one) to see if its cheaper. And of course, the post office is about 1.5 miles down the road in a small strip mall adjacent to Applebee's on Rte. 33. Altogether, I have much to thank the Mercer County Connection for. I greatly appreciate their organization in helping me mail out an expedited passport package to the US State department.

When she mentioned getting married in her fiancé's aunt and uncles Jersey farmhouse, I was excited to finally visit outside of a train stop on the way to NYC from Philly. Though the roads in the countryside were scary with deer jumping out and some angry driver instances, I have to say I fell in love with the farmhouse and the views along with it in Flemington. Truly breathtaking and a beautiful backdrop for my friend's gothic-style wedding. I could do without the humidity in June though! Still a solid 5-star as the scenery was gorgeous!
