"Collingswood is an entry in my 'gays and lesbians are the shock troops of gentrification' file. When I first laid eyes on its main drag, Haddon Avenue, about 10 or so years ago, it was somewhat down at heels. Then an enterprising local Realtor and civic leaders actively marketed the community to LGBT home buyers. I don't think it too much of an overstatement to say that from there, the rest is history."—Sandy Smith ["Own a Home Featured in This Old House—Without Living Through a Renovation"]
