redbankgreen

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

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

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...
Never mind 'Where have I seen this?' The question Kim Sandbach hopes will soon be on everyone's mind is, 'What's That Smell?' Believe it or not, What's That Smell is the name of Sandbach's new business, a fragrance, cosmetics and...
Last week's 'Where' drew an interesting mix of respondents, including Mike Halfacre, who was elected mayor of Fair Haven on Tuesday night (congratulations, Mike), and Red Bank roofer Joe Ruffini, who tells us he used to climb on the object...
Alicia Woods of Little Silver stepped up, so to speak, and identified last week's 'Where' as a set of concrete steps between parking areas at the First Presbyterian Church at Red Bank. Tower Hill, that is. Congrats to Alicia, who...
The three-D stainless-steel letters spelling out the name of a now-departed business was, perhaps, a dead giveaway for last week's entry. Which probably explains why an unusual number of readers got it. But once again, the fleet-fingered Dylan Barlett got...
It's a sad tale, or so we imagine, of a tree limb that grew too close to a wire, and then around the wire, and then became orphaned, clinging to the wire as the tree from which it grew was...
We had two readers venture that last week's image of a brick wall with a spectral silhouette of a house inlaid in it was from the Red Bank Middle School. Sorry, no. And otherwise, the guess box was devoid of...
High fives to Peg Riley of Shrewsbury, who was the first to identify last week's 'Where.' It's a sculpture at the Guild of Creative Art on Broad Street (Route 35) in Shrewsbury, opposite The Grove, and a full view is...
Guy Johnson of the Antique Center of Red Bank steamrolled the competition and was the first to identify last week's 'Where' as the railroad trestle that crosses West Front Street near Bridge Avenue. But the most compelling reply came from...
A man's home is his castle, but if he's got a jones for medieval architecture and a lot of ironstone lying around, who's to say he can't fill his yard with castles, too? Last week's 'Where' featured a pair of...
'Sue from Fair Haven' lassoed last week's 'Where,' which turned out to be a bucking bronc that threw a number of readers. The idyllic image of cows and other livestock in a pasture is from a mural painted on the...
Last week's 'Where' had barely been up an hour when, just before 1a Thursday, Dylan Barlett emerged from the velvety darkness to claim his latest win. "Lunch Break," he wrote. "Also, your email links are broken." We've been known to...
Jenn Woods of Red Bank, who was narrowly edged out by David Prown in the e-mail race of correct answers to 'Where' no. 13, is the clear winner of contest no. 14. Having grown up in Little Silver and lived...
David Prown, who is as deserving of the title of Mr. Red Bank as anyone in this town (see Tom Chesek's profile of him in the current issue of Red Bank Red Hot, if you need more info), is the...
Sue Malmi of River Plaza (Middletown) was the first reader to pin down the location of the Doelger's Antiques sign. It's on the south side of the East Side Cafe on Broad Street, next to the Verizon building. So close,...
Last week's image shows a coat-of-arms painted on the side of a building at 90 West River Road in Rumson. The property is owned by the Tedesco family, and the building, a turn-of-the-century (19th to 20th, that is) structure, is...
We have no winners from last week's 'Where.' So no, it wasn't a window display from the Red Bank Antiques Center, as one reader guessed. It's a window display from Bain's Hardware in Sea Bright. A little off our usual...
Maria Ursino of Little Silver was the first to correctly identify the location of last week's conjoined metal shed and brick building as the Anderson Moving and Storage Warehouse at the corner of Bridge and Monmouth Streets. Maria grew up...
