To the Editor: ( NY TIMES)

Why is the American dream defined solely in terms of owning one’s own home? Why is this particularly American?

Why isn’t the American dream ever spoken of in terms of justice, equality, freedom and responsibility? Does the very definition of who we are as a people and nation have to boil down to things and owning them — however necessary and desirable?

 Intermodal connections

Intermodal connections between Amtrak trains and other transportation are available at many stations. Most Amtrak rail stations in downtown areas have connections to local public transport. Amtrak also code shares with Continental Airlines, providing service between Newark Liberty International Airport (via its Amtrak station and AirTrain Newark) and Philadelphia 30th St, Wilmington, Stamford, and New Haven. Amtrak also serves airport stations at Baltimore.

Amtrak coordinates Thruway Motorcoach service to extend many of its routes.

Seven days a week and around the clock, the Speedline offers a fast, comfortable, and reliable alternative to traffic congestion, high parking rates, and the aggravation of driving. Riding the Speedline also helps save energy and reduce air pollution. It's the best way of traveling to Center City Philadelphia and the Delaware River waterfront.

City Hall, Broadway and Ferry Ave. are in Camden. Collingswood is fast becoming the arts capital of South Jersey. Haddonfield, 5 minutes  from Camden, is a charming, upscale Colonial era town.
