Vineland (New Jersey) Voyage Tips and guide

Contents

The main street in Vineland is Landis Avenue. The traditional downtown area lies several blocks east and west of the intersection of Landis Avenue and the Boulevard. The Boulevard is a pair of roads that flank the main north–south railroad, which connected Vineland with Cape May to the south and Camden/Philadelphia to the north. After many years of decline, there has been much activity to restore the vitality of "The Avenue" and the center city area. New construction includes a new transportation center, courthouse, post office, elementary school, community center and sidewalk upgrades.
