No issues with FiOS today, but I'm a good ways from you. Must be a more localized problem. I have had very, very few issues with their service since it became available here in, gosh, maybe 2010 or so?

County borders have changed many times. Camden County didn't exist until 1844. In 1759, the nearby border would have been between Burlington and Gloucester. The Atsionk became the Atsion (or "Little Egg Harbor"), which became the Mullica, no? If that was all already obvious, then apologies...

Increasingly it seems like this is a category of devices that shouldn't really have to exist. The satellite radio and high quality GPS chipset should already be built into your phone, which is typically a fast, big-screen, large storage device you already have with you. New Qualcomm SoCs are...

Is that true? The gate at 532 is definitely new, I don't remember seeing it before. It is not there on Street View from 2019 and earlier. And certainly the road has been used recently, there were tire marks in the sand. Was it "closed" in legal sense only, with no gates erected?

Access continues to evaporate. Small bridges like this are a real weak point. As soon as they're damaged or otherwise condemned, there's no incentive to repair or rebuild them. Instead it's easier and cheaper to just close the road that crosses them, especially if people live nearby and don't...

And one of the recommendations was "you should clear-cut, bulldoze, and obliterate 21 acres of mature forest?" Who is on this task force? They should be stopped from implementing whatever their next great idea may be. I haven't seen a timberdoodle (American Woodcock) in a long time, although...

I was checking out the new Whispering Pines trails in Tabernacle yesterday. It's nice back there, there are some large cedars. On the way out I took a shortcut and walked Iricks Causeway back to the parking lot. The road had irregular chunks of crushed asphalt in it, which was not great to walk...

Double posting but I'll just also mention: one of the best features of their viewer is the comparison tool, which allows you to put imagery from two different dates side by side and then drag a slider back and forth between them to directly show the differences. This is very useful for viewing...

That one is easy, Ben even has the coords on a front page post (spoilers!)

You would need to request an account first and have it approved. I was able to get a free Education and Research account with university affiliation. It provides access to their 3m imagery, with a monthly download limit, but it's some huge amount of coverage I would never get close to hitting...

Here is Penn State Forest in progress just north of Oswego Lake. About 10AM yesterday. And another area in Greenwood, about the same time. Imagery copyright Planet Labs Inc.

Well, I know precisely where your clue photo is; I was just there. I don't know where the drain is, though.

You had it right on the money. From this morning: Imagery copyright Planet Labs Inc.

This one? It's on the northeast side of the intersection of Kings Highway and Haddon Avenue, in front of the Happy Hippo toy store. It's from 1773 and gives the distances to Camden and Gloucester. I love the pointing hands at the top.

I don't think there is any such thing as a complete map of Wharton done specifically in the year 1997 (see this thread) but there are some true 1997 quads (Atsion, Jenkins, Oswego Lake, Green Bank) which you can view here by setting the slider to 1997-1998. If you expand the date range a bit you...

Did you ever find out anything further about the piece of terracotta you found in your previous post?

It reopened back in October - I've been in a bunch of times now. The food is good and the service is very friendly. Stop in if you haven't. And while you're there, be sure to check out the historical artifact hanging on the wall in the restroom ;)

That is a very interesting observation. I just watched YouTube channel Townsends make an apple pie based on a 1773 recipe in The Universal Cook by - appropriately - John Townshend. There's a nearly identical recipe to the one he follows in this 1792 Francis Collingwood cookbook, if anyone else...

That was a great post, thank you for the perspective. I associate this layout more with North Jersey. Try backing out on Washington Street in Hoboken, it's a total madhouse. People also have no problem double parking and blocking you in. One of the many reasons to avoid driving in the metro...

If that was the case, we're lucky we didn't end up with Applebee's Hill. Visitors would be driving up there looking for Cheetos-dusted wings or something.
