A town square for an unsquare town

redbankgreen

Standing for the vitality of Red Bank, its community, and the fun we have together.

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...
Remember: Nothing makes a Red Bank friend happier than to hear "I saw you on Red Bank Green!"

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....
Last week's Where framed an odd mix of architectural surfaces. Among the responses: "rite aid" "The old K HOV building on Hwy 35 shot from Nicholas?" "I am totally guessing, but I think it might be the Viet Nam Vets...
How about it, folks? If you think you know where the above photo was taken, zap us an email, please. We had a light turnout for last week's Where Have I Seen This? Was that because the answer was so...
The item highlighted in last week's 'Where' seems to have something of a doppleganger nearby, leading our respondents to split their answers. About half of those who wrote in thought the pictures showed lighting fixtures at the Salt Creek Grille...
Last week's 'Where Have I Seen This?' featured three views from the site of Shrewsbury's Allen House, a history-drenched property that dates to the late 17th or early 18th century and functioned for many years as a tavern. Now maintained...
Recognize this idyllic tableau? If so, please feel free to send us an email telling us where you've seen it. Last week's entry turned out to be no challenge for Raeanne Guzzi, Fred Blumberg, Joe Sapienza, Trish DePonti, Alan Fisher,...
Slow week in the 'Where' emailroom last week. Must have been the subdued shot we asked readers to identify. Still, Jenn Woods, Mark Molzon, J.C. Kelly and Trish DePonti took the time to write in, as usual, and each correctly...
The answer to last week's Where Have I Seen This? may turn out to be something of a head-slapper for readers who couldn't identify it, given the prominence of the building it shows. One reader ventured that our photo was...
No. 136 in the series. Of the 13 responses to last week's Where, seven were wrong. So naturally, we at Where Central could not be more delighted. A near-even split! Six readers thought the picture was taken at the Red...
'Where Have I Seen This?' returns this week after taking a Christmas holiday — it's first break since we launched redbankgreen on June 1, 2006. So where does 'Where' go on vacation? We'll never tell. It's a secret. Let's just...
A cadre of ready-for-winter 'Where' regulars had no trouble identifying last week's image. From Michele Lombard, who's apparently electrified by what the object in the photo portends: COULD IT BE OUR TOWN's Prized Logo, the ICEBOAT IN FULL HOLIDAY REGALIA????AH,...
One of the small pleasures of this feature comes from the variety of answers that readers sometimes submit regarding the same image. Last week's 'Where' was an example. One thought it showed the yard of a home on the Middletown...
Sorry this image doesn't enlarge, folks. But if you lean in close, you should be able to generally make out the scene it captures — and maybe even identify the location. If you know it, we'd enjoy hearing from you....
Last week's 'Where' proved a bit obscure, as only one reader identified it — and she had to make a special trip to confirm her hunch. The photo showed an industrial building at 6 River Street in Sea Bright, which...
Another terrific turnout of responses came in on last week's picture. Among the 18 answers we received were just two misfires. One reader thought it was a display from the counter of the 7-11 on Branch Avenue in Little Silver;...
