Advantages: Vibrant small town with lots of charm Disadvantages: Surrounding area being rapidly developed
For decades, small American towns have been dying out as housing developments and sterile, sprawling shopping centres built on the outskirts of once-vibrant communities have come to dominate the landscape. Princeton, New Jersey, a picturesque town of about 25,000, located half-way between New York City and Philadelphia, has, however, escaped this fate. This makes it a worthwhile destination for anyone visiting or passing through the state.
AROUND TOWN
SHOPPING
A visit to Princeton begins at Palmer Square, the town centre. Here and all along the nearby Nassau and Witherspoon Streets is an impressive range of clothing, specialty and gift shops. Several small boutiques specialise in men's, women's and children's apparel from casual to formal, while a number of well-known chains like Ann Taylor, Talbots, Gap, Banana Republic and J ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Princeton
Let me just say ?wow?! I never expected for small hotel to go above and beyond like this Staybridge!
I normally book at 4 star hotels, but I was trying to conserve funds and thought I would try this out. The staff was so friendly and man behind the front desk was very impressive. The room was very spacious and the full kitchen was a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable, I asked and was told it was a Serta pillowtop mattress, and they were new. The breakfast was good- I had scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast and was only expecting muffins(which they also had.) Crazy to think I have been spending my money on high end hotels and I am missing out and could have been saving money on all my trips to Dallas. They also have a happy hour, which I was not able to use, but hopefully will return in the future and see what this is all about ...
Advantages: Great looks, decent volume Disadvantages: Volume control, clean tone controls
I bought a Princeton 112+ for £200 about 2 years ago, so the main point on the plus side for this amp is the value. Although its pretty small, this amp is a very loud 65W, and is perfectly loud enough for even large pub/club gigs.
The amp is a 1x12" combo, with two channels and a master reverb control. The first channel (clean) only has controls for volume/treble/bass; while the distortion channel has gain/volume/treble/bass/contour. The contour control - similar to that on most Marshall Valvestates - works by shifting the range of the middle frequencies, so it does a bit more than a simple middle pot. Basically, turn it one way and the distortion sounds kinda bluesy, turn it the other way and you've got scooped thrash metal.
I think the distortion is a bit crap, but you can get it to sound good with a lot of EQ tweaking - so it won ...
