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...

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

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,...

Yes, folks, the 'Where Have I Seen This' archive of entries is now three digits deep. And so this week, we're offering up images from three locations. Think you can guess where they're from? Please shoot us an email. We'll...

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...

Devoted fans of Patricia Mink's Savoury Fare at 3 West River Road in Rumson have had their taste buds on hold in recent days, waiting for the take-out cuisine business to reopen after a vacation. And here goes redbankgreen, tempting...

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...
