    OC Parks "Ghost Town" Tour - Jan '08

    The OC Historical Society recycles bad info as well. For decades they have been saying, and publishing, that the 1923 Ocean County Hall of Records was knocked down in 1951 to make way for the expansion. Not true, the building is still there. They redid the facade to match the 1951 West wing...

    Mega-Stores coming to Medford Crossings

    My first wife's brother lived in Marietta, and we visited several times in the mid 80's. the highway construction was lightning fast. One year you had to cross about 6 lanes of I-85 heading north to get to the West Paces Ferry road exit. The next year there was a tunnel. (I might be off on the...

    Pinehurst or Pinewald?

    I had also been told that many of the roads around the old hotel were originally meant to be canals, ala Venice, but it never happened. I have no idea on the validity of that story.

    History of the Brooksbrae Brick Company

    The way I understand it the Brooksbrae company most likely never went into operation at that site, and when the owner William Kelly died in 1908 there was a lengthy probate issue that kept the operation in limbo. There were RR strikers at that location, the Clevengers were made caretakers to...

    Original Burlington County Courthouse

    just an update, I heard from Jerseyman, apparently the courthouse was not on any corner of that intersection, it was right, smack dab in the middle! The one spot I didn't really shoot, though I did get a nice shot of the Riverline train passing thru so that might suffice. He also told me the...
