Englewood Metro- Midwest Englewood
Coplay's southern border is Macarthur Rd. This road has many mom and pop stores aswell as some big box stores. there are not many places in Englewood where you can go to a KFC or go shopping at Walmart. Macarthur Rd. is one of Englewood's busiest Streets.
Not only does it allow you to access Stores you usually can't anywhere else in Englewood, it provides access to the Lehigh expressway from the western suburbs.

A KFC and a food store on Macarthur RD in Preston.

The Macarthur Rd, overpass with Rt 309 *Lehigh Expressway*
Preston- Preston is where all the Rich come to find Condos and luxury apartments and penthouses.
Needless to say, it is one of Englewood's richest neighborhoods. And one of the most dangerous.
How you say? well let's put it this way, Rich people have money, Criminals want money. So the effect is that a recent rash in Home evasions and thefts have occurred in Preston recently.
But let's not look at the negative side of things and gahh at the luxury that teases us.
Preston has many high rises. The higher the floor, the bigger the price. But when you make the property riverfront? Let's hope you run a major corporation or something cause this is gonna dry out your wallet.

Between the Lehigh expressway and the Lehigh river are the cleverly named Lehigh River view condos.
These condos range in price from 150,000 to 1,000,000 Dollars. Indoor pool, Bar, Gym, it everything a millionaire would LOVE!
If you don't like the river for some reason you can purchase a luxury apartment on Broad St.

It's near the library and still has a pretty good view of the River and Downtown. Prices range from 50,000 to 500,000.
If you are afraid of heights then you can look into just about a million other condos and luxury apartments that have less than 10 floors. Just get an alarm system installed.
If you need to go into Downtown for work or a business trip, just take a Left where you would go strait onto the expressway and you are now on Sam J Cadman Avenue. This road takes you to the SJC Bridge.
This bridge will take you across the Lehigh river into Downtown.

Looks like a cheap knockoff of the Brooklyn Bridge you say? well you are correct.
Before we go let's stop and watch a futbol or soccer game at St.Joe's soccer stadium. The St. joes soccer team is a college soccer team. They are the best on the West american East coast and they don't accept a loss.

Before the Game there was a prayer for Pope Francis who was elected pope today.
St. Joes won against Piperville University in Lugdwig 24-16.
Let's stay the night at the Marriot and we will continue our tour of Englewood whenever i feel like it.
Till then....
