Here’s the answer to last week’s “Where.”
Last week’s photo was a close-up of the mailbox of Miami Dolphin fanatic Robert Greene’s house on Chapin Avenue. For years, Greene has kept his home and yard (and cars) bedecked in the uniform colors of the NFL football team he fell in love with as a child fascinated by the live football-catching dolphin swimming in a tank in the team’s stadium.
We stopped by the week after the Super Bowl when he was coming to grips with another year in which his team fail to return to the heights of the magical undefeated 1972 season (a season summed up in a poem painted on plywood on his front yard.)
“We need a quarterback,” he said.
redbankgreen did a profile of Greene back in 2007, which you can read here.
And in a previous life, the current Wheremaster and redbankgreen editor did a video in 2012 about his passion – and its role in saving the life of a suicidal woman about to jump in the Swimming River.
These days, Greene’s display is scaled down from the days when his yard was full of life-sized wooden plywood football players. And he recently sold the Pontiac Firebird with the Dolphins teal paint job. But he still has the teal Nissan SUV with the logo on the hood. And the enduring love for his team.
Not many guesses this week, but three people wrote in and nailed it. They were Christopher Havens, Yvonne McDonald and Chuck Stern.
I hope I got everyone. Please email or text me immediately if we missed you at [email protected] or 848-331-8331. Your sharp eyes and hustle should be properly rewarded.
