Category Archives: Where Have I Seen This?

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,...

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

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,...

There's a charm in those old architectural details, isn't there? Even where the work in question is in an accelerated state of decay — maybe more so. It's like watching your own time slip into history before your eyes. Do...

Just one response came in for last week's 'Where.' Mark Molzon guessed that it showed a pay phone near the Red Bank recycling yard. It was a pay phone, of course — a member of a vanishing technological species. But...

Last week's 'Where' showed a pile of big rocks below a guardrail and some bent parking signs. It's the riprap on Union Avenue opposite the Monmouth Boat Club. The view is from Boat Club Court. That slope, behind some businesses...

Edition number 95 of "Where Have I Seen This?" was no challenge for at least the half-dozen readers who wrote in over the last week. All correctly identified it as a sign outside Marion Security Agency on Bridge Avenue. Marion,...

Last week's 'Where' generated an interesting variety of responses from a surprisingly small geographic area, perhaps owing to the number of Victorian homes in central Red Bank. One reader thought the photo showed a detail of "Mrs. Pearl Dwek's house"...

Last week's Where yielded yet another surprising result: three out of the five readers who wrote in were mistaken about what we thought was an obvious location. Peter DeFazio and Joe Sapienza got it right: a side wall at Nirvana,...

At least one member of the sprawling redbankgreen staff expected more readers to recognize last week's image, which showed a basic cinderblock shell of a building under construction. The reason: its location, at the Sea Bright anchorage of the Rumson-Sea...

Half a dozen readers quickly identified last week's image, which showed an architectural detail from the roofline of 74 Broad Street, at the northwest corner of Monmouth Street. Now the street-level location of a Valley National Bank branch, the building...

Ahh, Valentine's Day... When a young heart falls for timeworn architectural details of unspecified location... Know it? Tell us, please. As for last week's photo, Monmouth911 and Peter DeFazio were able to discern from the silhouette that our camera had...

Last week's entry focused on an example of a vanishing species: a payphone, this one nicely framed in a blue cowling and set against the teal trim of a building. Readers IslanderE2 and Monmouth911 wrote in with the right location:...

Something curious followed the publication of last week's 'Where.' All the readers who got the location wrong thought they'd seen our Superman image downtown on Broad Street. A Time to Kiln, Ricky's Candy, Cones & Chaos, Jay and Silent Bob's...

Last week's 'Where' was taken from the choir loft of the Calvary Baptist Church, and shows a detail of the magnificent tin ceiling that runs the length of the church's basilica. Alas, not a soul wrote in to identify it,...

Quite to our surprise, no one wrote in with a correct ID on last week's 'Where.' Answer: a window on the side of the Rumson Dry Cleaners building at 31 West River Road, next door to the Exxon station. This...

Three observant readers were able to identify the newly re-exposed bit of architectural detail featured in last week's 'Where.' As noted by the Colmorgen Kids, Cathi Swett and Bobby Holiday, the photo shows a semi-circular window at 157 Broad Street,...
