A town square for an unsquare town

redbankgreen

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

Category Archives: Where Have I Seen This?

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...

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

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...

One thing Erin Visalli wanted to accomplish — and who among our readers doesn't identify with this? — was to win a 'Where.' Ever since her neighbor, multiple 'Where' champ Jenn Woods, turned her onto redbankgreen, Erin's wanted a piece...

No readers identified last week’s ‘Where,’ so the pot grows to $130 million. Oh, beg your pardon — that’s not us. That’s the MegaMillions lottery game. All this ice seems to have given us a case of brain freeze. The...

We're back in the game! After a dry spell (for us), three—count 'em—three 'Where' devotees identified last week's image. It shows a door on the Monmouth Street building that houses Fins & Feathers pet store and, upstairs, part of Buona...

Confession time: it hurts. It's probably our own fault, because it usually is when this happens. But still, it hurts. For two weeks in a row, the 'Where' in-box has sat idle and nearly empty. Not a single entry, not...

It can be feast or famine here in the land of 'Where.' You'll recall that our last entry — showing the brick facade around the JCP&L substation in Fair Haven, aka the "building dickey" — brought an unprecedented number of...

We'd heard it called "Mrs. Watt's house" before. But "building dickey?" That one was new. Last week's 'Where' generated not only a record number of responses—all of them substantially correct—but some amusing takes on a structure meant to suggest something...

It seems we were overdue for a 'Where' out of Rumson, because the responses came pouring in on last week's posting, which, yes, showed a carriage house on Buena Vista Avenue in that borough. Todd Weidman of Little Silver beat...

Recognize the structure above? An Email with your best guess about its location would be welcome. Ralph Brandi was the first to call last week's 'Where:' the ice machine outside Chris' Deli on West Front Street in the River Plaza...

Last week's 'Where,' we figured, was an easy one. And, in fact, several readers wrote in to correctly identify the image: a fire hydrant wrapped in black plastic on River Road in Fair Haven, near the corner of Lincoln Avenue....

Garden gnome put out for trash pickup? Street sculpture? Munchkin in a rainproof burka? Perhaps the arresting figure shown here isn't such a mystery to you. But where is it? If you know, or think you do, Email your guesses...

We're not quite sure what to make of it when not even one reader correctly identifies a 'Where' entry. Does it mean that we've gone too obscure? Too obvious for those who know the answer to even bother writing in?...

See, kids? This is where having a particular expertise comes in handy. Retromedia Sound Studios owner John Noll used his specialized knowledge in sound technology to identify last week's 'Where' as a picture of a loudspeaker atop 1 Broad Street,...

Christine Jahnig of Red Bank was the first of several readers to recognize the site of last week's photo, which showed, in her words, "a lovely...formal boxwood maze." The well-tended topiary can be found on Sycamore Avenue in Shrewsbury, just...

Last week's 'Where' showed a a drab, boarded-up shop with eye-catching turquoise trim. We can now reveal that the building is located on Cedar Avenue in Fair Haven. And it seems fitting that the first person to identify it was...
