An obituary in the local Pemberton Twp. newspaper this week had a man who was born in Cranberry Hall in 1921. Recently I was thinking of a way to explore ruins on Ft. Dix property and thought ,if you have a hunting license you could sign up to hunt on...

A friend of mine has a picture of the buck with a doe and fawn,all of them are white.They were walking behind his yard not far from Hanover Furnace.That was about 8 years ago.I have heard of as many as 9 now and I've seen them at the end of my street near Hanover Blvd/East Lakeshore...

Suresue,I have been reading old threads and came across the one about the 1974 National Geographic about the pines.In your posts you mentioned Hazey Dilks.I once heard a story of him fighting everyone in a bar one by one.I mentioned this story to a friend who lived behind me and he said he was...

Would these houses be on the Country Lakes side of the R/R or the side that runs through the state forest?It ran right behind my buddies grandparents farm and their uncle took a backhoe and dug it up. Making it too rough for cars and trucks but we rode our dirtbikes on it acting like pro M/X riders.

Would it be closer to Mt.Misery?Possibly on Rattlesnake Rd. or on the other side of Rt. 70 near where Upton Bridge was.I have driven down those R/R tracks many times without realizing all the history of the area.Now I have a source of great info and I hope to find some of these areas.

I was also wondering about the location of Asa Pittmans house.Back in the 70s I would pick blueberries and ride dirtbikes at my neighbors grandparents farm.It was located a mile off of Rt.70 on the road listed on Google maps as North Whitesbog Rd.(They just called it The Lane).About halfway...

The private bar was called The Palace Inn and was owned by the Gallagher family.Their son Tommy hung out with the same crowd as me.It was across P.B.M. Rd.from Sunset View Inn.I was in the library today and in a book of old photos of Browns Mills was The Sunset in the 1900s.It started as a tea...

If you made a right turn out of Satellites parking lot just drive straight through Wrightstown, when you cross over Rt.68 it was a couple miles down the road in Springfield Twp.It burned down before I was able to go but my older sister used to hang out with a band named Money who played there a...

Sunset View Inn was across the street from the old Acme not far from Obies(that phone booth was just in the wrong place at the wrong time!) When you worked at New Lisbon did you ever go to The Pizza Stop? My buddies family worked there. Lous Pioneer Bar was called Illusions 2 a go go bar for a...

Would that be Tenias Discount Department Store?Did you ever leave Satellite at closing time and the sun was rising.It would look like a gang of vampires in the parking lot. Down the road from Satellite past Wrightstown a couple miles was a tiny club called D-13/Zig Zag. Did you ever go there?

Bobpbx,I moved to Browns Mills IN 1966 when I was 5yo.A painter I worked with in his 60s told me about the Lowell George concert. My parents went to see George Jones and Tammy Wynette. The biggest crowd there was for Big El after Elvis died. I also heard that Springsteen played at B.C.C...

I've been told that there were over 30 bars in Browns Mills at one time several decades ago.Wyatt Earps was where the new MacDonalds is located.It was one of the real piney bars.There were even dog pens outside.Advanced Auto is on the site of the old MacDonalds which is where The original Pig...

They say your as young as you feel ( Some mornings I feel about the same as the packing house looks! )but it was the mid 70s you could get an agricultural work permit and work at the age of 14 or 15.It turned out at that age you couldn't work around machinery.I ended up picking berries with my...
