Here’s the answer to last week’s “Where.”
Last week’s photo was a close-up of the office building at 10 Mechanic Street, directly across the street from the Navesink Hook & Ladder firehouse. The photo sparked a lively conversation in the redbankgreen headquarters about where it ranks on the list of Red Bank’s ugliest buildings. We’re not sure how to describe the architectural style but we decided “mid-century buttocks” seems an apt phrase, referring to the bulbous flesh colored curves that dominate the facade.
One person guessed it was Patrizia’s restaurant, which also has a stucco facade. Another person added a shoutout to Bobby and Steve at adjacent Cardner’s Barber Shop (I guess “Where?” does shoutouts to neighbors now?) Another person guessed it was Borough Hall, another building uglified way back when by an unfortunate stucco application. Peter Lisowsky recalled fondly how his son used to run up the slanted stucco in front of the windows when they lived nearby.
