A town square for an unsquare town

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

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

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...
Dog-walkin' visual artist Wendy Born Hollander was the only reader to correctly identify last week's 'Where,' which showed the number 61 above the word 'office' and a bent arrow. It's a sign painted on a small building on West Street,...
So much for reflexively ascribing virtues to people without first checking our facts. It turns out Dayna Stein of the Dueling Steins hasn’t been sitting out the recent weeks of ‘Where’ simply to give other readers a chance to win,...
Leave it to a guy who spends his days tarring roofs and uses the name "hotmop" in his e-mail address to be first to guess the location of last week's Where, which showed a rusting ladder in a dying tree....
It's official: this game has been liberated from the iron grip of the Dueling Steins, Dayna and Larry. We have a new champion, Dylan Barlett of Little Silver, who correctly identified last week's image as the giant emblem painted on...
We're not sure what to make of the responses to last week's WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS, mainly because, well, there weren't any. Not a one. So does that mean we totally stumped everyone, even the dueling Steins, Dayna &...
The winner of last week's hotly contested WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS? is Dayna Stein, who correctly identified the face shown as part of the mildly creepy (our words, not hers) statue called "Water's Edge" at the Monmouth Early Childhood...
OK, so that was dumb. Last week, in the premier edition of redbankgreen, we asked readers to tell us where a photo was taken (see below on this page), with answers to be sent via Comments. But it turns out...
Recognize this image? Tell us where you think this picture was taken. The plan is to regularly feature memory-challenging images in this space. Eventually, we hope to give away prizes for correct guesses, but we’re not set up for that...
