WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?

 

Do you know where in Red Bank this sweet little ride is parked? The Wheremaster sticks to photos of permanent or semipermanent parts of the landscape and this one has been stuck here long enough to qualify. Let’s see if you get stumped, too. 

Send your answer (or best guess) to [email protected] by noon, Thursday, October 24. We’ll zoom out and reveal the location the next day.

Here’s the answer to last week’s “Where.”

21 West Front street rear

 

Last week’s photo stumped lot of people, but about a half dozen people got it right. “Where” regular Matthew Forman was among the first to nail this one down, writing to identify it as “The rear lot of 21 East Front street.  Likely shot from the parking area of 14 Wharf Ave, Red Rock Tap/Grille.”

Chuck Stern called it “a very tricky one” but he still got it right with the answer: “ Parking garage for 21 East Front Street, as viewed from Riverview Plaza.”

Indeed, the photo was taken on Riverview Plaza near Riverview Medical Center and shows the green facade of the rear section of a much larger building at 21 East Front Street. The shadows cast by the angled autumn afternoon light against the unique awnings caught our eye as we were eating the fish tacos on the outside patio of Red Rock Tap + Grill.  This section of the building is home to a parking garage on the bottom floor and offices on the top floor. 

Wrong answers included the very specific but incorrect: “Bridge Ave opposite the train station and on top of the VNA health clinic. It’s next door to the gallery 90 in the historic red brick building and Senor Peppers on the other side.” 

Thanks to those wrote in: Peter Cavalier , Matthew Forman, Chuck Stern, Brock Siebert, Pater Cavalier. One other note: apologies to any respondents, especially The Colmorgen Kids, whose names were left out of recent posts. The new Wheremaster is still trying to devise a system to pull responses out of the firehose of an inbox.
