WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?
A lion roaring on Monmouth Street in Red Bank would normally get some attention, you might think. But the one shown in last week’s Where seems to have stumped evenContinue reading "WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?"
WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?
‘Know’ as in, ‘Do you know where this object is?’ If so, send us an email, please.
WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?
Easy to overlook, yet in plain sight: that’s pretty much what this weekly feature is all about. One might say that description is particular apt for the building that servedContinue reading "WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?"
WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?
Cutout lawn dogs: they’re everywhere, one might say. Still, six of the eight readers who wrote in about last week’s Where had no trouble picking the one shown out ofContinue reading "WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?"
WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?
Last week’s shot of a knife-edge building split our respondents.
Thanks to Trish DePonti, Jen Hussey, Melanie Stewart, Carl Colmorgen, Guy Johnson and Jay Smith for writing in about last week's 'Where, which showed a little rocking horse with a big dream. Jay guessed the photo was taken at Red...
Much to our surprise, last week's 'Where Have I Seen This?' attracted just two guesses. They both came from the same reader. And both were wrong. We were surprised because the subject of the photo is so prominent: The Galleria...
"The lovely park by the pond on Buttonwood in Fair Haven" is how reader S. Pilar described, correctly, the location of last week's Where. "Where the turtles sunbathe. Shhh. Don’t tell anyone." For readers unable to make out the image,...
"Too easy," Alicia Woods says of last week's Where Have I Seen This? "Covered sign on the closed Exxon station on Branch Ave. across from the train station in Little Silver." Indeed it is, as readers Memone Crystian, Jenn Woods,...
Did Christo and Jeanne-Claude slip in and out of town, leaving behind nothing but a coverup? OK, so it isn't an endeavor on a par with, say, the Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin. Yet this public display remains a mysterious, vaguely...
Last week, we probably got too obscure for our own good. Hey, it happens when you're trying to strike a balance between the overly obvious and the impossible-to-identify each week. Every once in a while, you tilt too much in...
Last week's 'Where" showed the decorative piece of stone- and brickwork atop 58-64 Broad Street in downtown Red Bank. In "Images of America: Red Bank," one of his three photo books on the history of the borough, prolific author Randall...
There wasn't much email generated by last week's Where, which we admit tilted toward the obscure end of the scale. This week's, though, should ring a few bells of recognition. Bob & Debbie Colmorgen recognized Where number 149 as a...
Those three spheres featured in last week's 'Where' seem to be quite the eye-catchers. Installed outside the TD Ameritrade office on Broad Street (Route 35) at Monroe Avenue in Shrewsbury, they're clearly decorative, and lend a touch of whimsy to...
It's nice to stump the Colmorgen Kids once in a while. Last week's had brother Carl shrugging his shoulders in resignation as we passed him at his school-crossing-guard station at Broad Street and Harding Road in Red Bank. Of course,...
We flummoxed one mayor and deked another last week. How often do you get to say that? Fair Haven Mayor Mike Halfacre wrote in to say that both he and his otherwise Where-savvy son, Matthew, were stumped by the image....
Last week's Where was probably a little too easy. It showed the gate-controlled entrance to a garage on Riverview Plaza, opposite the emergency room entrance to Riverview Medical Center. The garage serves tenants of the office building at 21 East...
Look familiar? If you think you can ID this week's shot, zap us an email, please. Last week, we showed you the door — or what appears to be some sort of portal in a brick wall. Three readers wrote...
Last week's image seems to have been a stumper, probably because it was a night shot without much in the way of reference points. So you really had to know it to know it, if you know what we mean....
