There are many reasons to share about why one loves Princeton. It’s common for someone raised here to either never leave or to return to raise their families. A unique suburb, with a beautiful downtown, it attracts many to the great schools, to learn about its history and of course, to attend or visit Princeton University. Princeton is simply a great place to love and be loved.
In this month’s issue, A Love Letter to Princeton, we share with you who loves and lives here, why they love Princeton, how to love in Princeton and so much more! With Valentine’s Day just behind us, love is in the air!
You may have your own, but it’s always interesting to learn what others find so lovable about this town. Be sure to click below and watch this month’s Pulse of Princeton to learn what it is that people love the most!

You too may be in a long-term relationship but it’s easy to let the day-to-day get in the way of sweet gestures and fun outings.

In our last issue we shared some important information about safety on our roadways – and a new law is already trying to make improvements. Perspectives Revisited shares the details about this and the latest on COVID-related shortages. We also have our first Letter to the Editor, providing a personal perspective on an issue currently facing Princeton.
If there’s one thing Princeton is not short of, it is opinions. We are a diverse community and we want to share diverse perspectives with our readers. So, for next month, please submit a Letter to the Editor on a topic that is meaningful to you. We’ve covered pretty much everything in our nearly two years of Princeton Perspectives, so let us know your thoughts on what’s happening!
It’s wonderful to write about love, of people and of Princeton. We hope you can sit and enjoy this issue – with the sun shining through your window and a smile on your face! Next month, we’ll take a close look at some current local decisions and what their impacts will be on the people of this municipality.
Thanks for reading, and please share with a friend!
