Here’s the answer to last week’s “Where.”
Last week’s photo was a close-up of the devil painted on the front of a garage at 2 Park Place.
We cropped out the name “Devil’s Keep Cycles” thinking that would give it away, but maybe we should have given everyone a little more context to work with. Only one person attempted to guess at this one – and no one got it right. The only guess was “a wall by the RBR track.” 
Park Place, one of the shortest streets in Red Bank.
Ironically, my attempt to find out the story behind this devil’s den fell victim to an act of God.
As I was on my way there Thursday to knock on the door of Devil’s Keep and the adjoining Steve’s Auto Repair to ask what the deal was, lightning struck the Volvo dealership on Newman Springs Road – not far at all from this location. Hmm.
The next few hours were spent covering the ensuing fire until darkness, downpours, disconnected phone numbers for the aforementioned establishments, and a meeting of the borough council further scuttled the effort. It was all enough to make me wonder if the devil himself was trying to keep us from learning the secrets.
As redbankgreen reported recently, the property owner of this building and others along Park Place is seeking approvals to knock them down and replace them with a more modern light industrial/office building.
Thanks to Marianne White, the lone Wherester who was brave enough to take on the devil.
