Category Archives: Where Have I Seen This?

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,...

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

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,...

Sometimes, Mrs. redbankgreenman stumps redbankgreenman with the photos she brings back from her 'Where' scouting expeditions. That was the case with last week's entry. Cathi Swett, though, knew it right off. "In Fair Haven, on River Road," Cathi writes in....

It took two weeks to find a winner, and a tentative one at that. Even though he or she framed the answer as a question — "Is it the side of the French Restaurant on the corner of Wharf Avenue...

Not only did we have no winners last week; we had no submissions. Not a guess. Perhaps we stumped even the 'Where' regulars? This being a somewhat unusual circumstance, we're trying something a bit different this week. We're adding a...

Though the little man shown in last week's 'Where' has many clones (or more likely, is himself a clone), three readers had no problem identifying where he hangs his cap at night. Bobby Holiday was the first in with the...

Turns out that last week's image had some of our regulars, including Kathy Lou Colmorgen (of the famous Colmorgen Kids) and Jenn Woods striking out. Nope, it's neither the Globe Street parking garage nor the new one at West Front...

We've gotta agree with Connkid01, who wrote in that last week's 'Where' "looks like Madonna's bra." Joseph Martin, however, correctly ID'd the shot as showing the back end of a pontoon boat. But only Bob Colmorgen, weighing in with a...

The first correct answer to last week's 'Where' came to us via triple play. Josh Schmidt identified it to Bob Colmorgen, who — stop us if you've read this one before — dispatched his brother, Carl, to verify it. Yep,...

Last week's 'Where' was "too easy" for Mayor Mike Halfacre of Fair Haven. Isn't that what convenience stores are all about? Gary and Joseph Morris mistook it for Juanito's Restaurant on Monmouth Street, and Jenn Woods thought it showed the...

Last week's image: a brick-and-terracotta-tile wall. Joanne Soper knew it right away. We also heard from Charles Hellings, who understandably recognized it because it , well, as he writes: That's my wall! Unless someone else has an identical one that...

Wow, talk about influence. In late August, we featured a damaged signpost here in 'Where.' That's now been fixed. Last week, we showed a stop sign defaced with graffiti that read "Don't Stop Loving." Well, somebody didn't love it. Within...

Mike Halfacre was first-in with the ID of last week's 'Where:' the Mulvihill Building at 569 River Road in the town where he's mayor, Fair Haven. Perhaps his River Road beautification plan calls for the restoration of the missing letters...

Last week's 'Where' showed a scale model of an Eastern Airlines plane. It's at 20 West Street, home of Venezia Emporium, or what proprietor Mike Venezia calls a junk shop. "Most people call it antiques and collectibles," he says. Venezia...

A couple of wild stabs came in on last week's image, but none hit the mark. Alex Turoczi thought it might be part of the awning at the Two River Theater, and the Colmorgens — uncharacteristically flailing — entered a...

Care to take a guess as to where this photo was taken, and what it shows? If so, please send us an email. Last week, as is often the case, the Colmorgen Kids of Red Bank and Eatontown correctly identified...

Jenn Woods didn't know the name of the building that features the window array shown in last week's 'Where.' But she knew it was across East Front Street from the Welsh Farms store, and she beat another regular, Bob Colmorgen,...

And, we're back... to a Colmorgen win. Those Colmorgen Kids don't stay off the podium for long. Of course they have a key advantage. Brother Bob spent 27 years in the Red Bank Police Department, many of them pounding his...

Breaking out of an extended slump, Jenn Woods beat a pack of 'Where' respondents to the keyboard last week when she was the first to identify the sign with the interrupted leg. Frankly, we were astonished that so many readers...
