A town square for an unsquare town

redbankgreen

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

This week, we've got an uncommon even split of correct and incorrect answers for the preceding week's Where. As noted by Tim Lake and Adam O'Brien, last week's image showed the New Jersey-American Water treatment plant on Newman Springs Road...
Remember: Nothing makes a Red Bank friend happier than to hear "I saw you on Red Bank Green!"
redbankgreen Classics
Two weeks ago, it was double-chocolate doughnuts and average-Joe joe. Last week: "Banana-Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut Filet" and "Maytag Blue Cheese Crusted Angus Sirloin." Following up on our detail from the door of the newly renovated Dunkin' Donuts on Maple...
The folks at Dunkin' Donuts HQ will eat this one up: redbankgreen readers apparently love their DDs. We received a record 18 responses to last week's 'Where,' and 17 of them were verifiably correct. The image was of the brand-new...
First thing last Thursday, we got an email from one of the Colmorgens guessing that the location of the 'Where' posted that morning was above Mr. Pizza Slice on Monmouth Street. A short while later, though, sibling Carl Colmorgen was...
Do not... zzzzt zzzzt... do not adjust your dial... Ah, that's better, a picture rendered at a state-of-the-art 72 pixels per inch. Now: where was it taken? One reader mistook last week's 'Where' as showing the drainage system at Meadow...
This week: a rare multiple-angle clue set, because it's August and your brain is in the south of France, or maybe Beijing, while your body's here, stateside, on staycation. Last week's image showed an unusually tall fire hydrant being admired...
It's a highlight of his daily walk, we're guessing. In keeping with the mood of the season, perhaps, it was a slowooow week here in Whereville. We got only one response since posting last week's pic, and it seems to...
There may not be many one-lane gravel roads in these here parts, but our picture of one last week proved that there are at least enough of them in one patch of Middletown to confuse some 'Where' fans. A number...
Jenn Woods, Donald Patters, William Crooks, Fred Blumberg, Pete DeFazio, Matt Borowski and Carl Colmorgen all wrote in to correctly identify the slice of urban skyline we featured in last week's photo. It's a view looking northeast across Broad Street...
We heard from three of our 'Where' regulars and a newcomer on last week's image, but none was able to properly identify the location. Carl Colmorgen and Alex Turoczi both thought it showed construction fencing on Riverside Avenue in Red...
Think you know this one? Shoot us an email, please. The Colmorgens, Pete DeFazio, Jesse Feldmus, Tim Garner, Carrie Ludwikowski and Chris Rawding all instantly recognized last week's 'Where' as a sizable and somewhat elaborate bit of graffiti sprayed onto...
Last week's 'Where' was too dam easy for six readers. They recognized it right away as the Shadow Lake spillway on Hubbard Avenue in the River Plaza section of Middletown. If you don't know it, the structure has the words...
The stone lion with the wagging tongue of last week (you didn't see it wag? Look again) turned out to be a bit of stumper. Taking "a wild guess," Beth Gilmartin wrote in that it was from the Courts of...
No, this creature's tongue does not actually wag. It's just redbankgreen's 'picture person' (that's the title she gave herself) having some fun. You know where this is, don't you? We'd enjoy hearing from you, whether you're absolutely sure or just...
You can live in a place for years and years and still occasionally experience a moment of discovery that's small but feels big at the time. That's what happened to redbankgreen in stumbling on the site of last week's photo....
Last week's 'Where' had respondents divided, though they were all in the same realm. Les Hathaway saw it as the exhaust stack on a Red Bank DPW truck. Bob Colmorgen said our photo was shot at the former Red Bank...
'Where' readers had two chances to get last week's image, which showed the word 'Oh!' scrawled on a guardrail. As nearly all of our respondents pointed out, its on the Hubbard's Bridge on West Street, visible as you're leaving Red...
Mirror, mirror on the tree, who knows this 'Where' with certainty? Last week's generated eight responses, several of which were rather emphatic — readers sometimes get excited to 'finally' get a 'Where' — and, alas, mistaken. Fran Waldmann, Fred Blumberg,...
Last week's image proved to be one of the more popular yet puzzling 'Wheres' we've had in a while. Plenty of readers had no trouble identifying the location. Jenn Woods, George Lyristis, Alicia Woods, Fran Waldmann, Jennifer Gallagher, Raeann Guzzi,...
Perhaps the three weathervanes featured in last week's 'Where' were too generic, but the responses didn't come in as expected. We got just one, and it was wrong. Oh well, that's the way the wind blows. And when it blows,...
