The seemingly unstoppable Colmorgen kids — siblings Bob, Carl and Kathy Lou — triple-teamed the latest 'Where.' This is one avid trio. Now we hear that even young Mother Colmorgen has caught 'Where' fever from her children, none of whom...

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

Last week's 'Where' turned out to be a twin, or maybe a triplet. A number of readers were quite certain that the outdoor bays full of decorative gravel and mulch shown in the photo were at Ryser's Landscape Supply on...

The shiny metal spheres shown in last week's 'Where' frustrated a good number of readers, we think, judging by some comments we heard on the street and the fact that not a soul ventured an email guess as to their...

Gotta love those Colmorgen boys, right? The white-hot streak that Bob & Carl have been on in recent months is rather impressive, one must admit. It continued when they turned in the only entry that correctly identified last week's 'Where'...

Reader Ernest Anemone was the first to get last week's not too obscure pic, which showed a detail of the St. Nicholas Orthodox Church on at Pearl and Wall Streets. At one time, the structure was the home of the...

Word on the street is that the Colmorgen boys, Bob & Carl, were running all over town on hunches as they tried to figure out where they'd seen last week's location. In which case Bob, who lives in Eatontown, probably...

Bob Colmorgen did it again, identifying last week's shot as a boarded-up door at the former Anderson Brothers cold-storage warehouse at Monmouth Street and Bridge Avenue. Bob, a longtime Red Bank fireman in who continues to volunteer though he now...

Reader David Wilson was the first to identify last week's image: a statue at the entrance to Parker-Sickles Park in Little Silver. Bob Colmorgen got it, also. On a hunch, enroute from the family homestead to his residence in Eatontown,...

We have a winner, and her last name does not begin with Colmorgen. Michele Lombard was the first of two Red Bankers to correctly identify last week's painted smile as the emblem from, well, The Perfect Smile dental practice on...

We had just one response to last week's picture, and damn if it wasn't yet another correct one from Carl Colmorgen. That's five Colmorgens in a row, for those keeping count. How is it that a guy can return to...

Folks, we have our first 'Where' grand slam, with the fourth Colmorgen family member in a row taking a victory trot around the bases. Carl Colmorgen of Oakland Street was the first reader to identify last week's image, which showed...

Big, big turnout for last week's 'Where,' with lots of correct responses. Answer: Navesink River Road at the corner of Cherry Street, between the North Jersey Coast Line and Poricy Brook Pond. The photo shows a utility pole dressed up...

'OK, this will be an easy one,' we're tempted to say this week. But we won't, because whenever we do say that, we're surprised to discover that what we thought was obvious and universally recognized is not. So, folks, let's...

The sight of the red barn featured in last week's 'Where' drew votes for Sycamore Avenue in Shrewsbury, the entrance to Sickels Market in Little Silver, and Church Lane, also in Little Silver. All interesting choices, harking back to places...

Yeah, we're feeling a bit postcard-y this week. It may have something to do with last week's photo, which showed a utility structure of some kind next to a cyclone fence. Four observant readers correctly identified the building's location: it's...

If the question was "What is it?" this one would be too easy. Obviously, it's a Red Bank residence assessed at the townwide average of $404,981. Kidding. That unpainted door's got to knock a couple of hundred bucks off the...

For the first 'Where' of Spring 2007, we present what could be the final snow scene for the next nine or ten months. Yes, we know how broken up you are about this. Us, too. But the cold hasn't kept...

There were two big surprises (for the redbankgreen staff, that is) arising from last week's 'Where.' One was the strong number of responses, most of them correct. The other was the guess from someone who we like to think of...

No one correctly identified the the location of last week's 'Where,' showing a statue of a slicker-wearing fisherman. Which surprised us. We would have thought there were some avid statuary aficionados out there. In fact, we still believe that. Come...

Is this a sign of what a litigious society we live in? Last week's shot, showing a drop box for a courier service to the legal profession, attracted a respectable number of responses, all but one of them correct. (The...
