Cape May: the remains of one of the experimental concrete ships from WWII.
For Edison: there is a well known grave marker in IIRC the St James Episcopal Church graveyard. It used to be the Piscatawaytown cemetary. There is a grave with a slab that tells the story of two brothers who were killed by eating mushrooms. They died in the late 1600s. I’ve been trying to find a link somewhere but can’t find one.
Again in South Jersey: I believe it is officially in Plumstead Township. The remains of the BOMARC missile site. Home of one of the worst nuclear accidents in US history. Not sure how much is still there, I heard they are actually going to clean it up. In 1960 a nuclear tipped BOMARC missile burned in it’s silo (more of a building with a roof that opens, just like the NIKE missiles. They put concrete over the site and left the rest. Years ago I flew over it in a helicopter and I could clearly see the concrete slab. All the other silos/launch buildings were intact. You could see the launch buildings from the road through the pines. This is on 539 down the road from the New Eygpt Speedway.
There’s another one, the New Eygpt Speedway. I doubt there is anything else to photograph in NE. Except Pineys.
Take a picture of the Pennsauken Creek in Cinnaminson (Burlington County). That’s where they get the mud to treat MLB baseballs.
Atco Dragway in Atco. 1/4 mile strip, lotsa noisy fun.
Tacony Drive-In Flea Market in summer: you can never be too underdressed, undergroomed, or underwashed to attend.
The Pine Barrens would be nice.
You’re too late for the Pennsauken Mart. Inside shots of that place on a Friday night would make Beirut look like a national park.
Oh, it’d be impossible to find since I have the completely wrong park name. :smack:
Anyway, it’s in Grekowski Park
I’ll call my dad later and ask him what might be out in his neck of the woods.
Hey, I grew up in Allenhurst, so I hope you’re not making fun of our one stop light… that is totally unnecessary … and really frickin’ long… with no turn on red… Ah, memories. I was actually thinking of the “lagoon” that was made after the shark attacks of 1916, or the cabanas on the beach, but there is something charming about that stoplight, and it says a lot about the people who run the town.
Rocco and Meyer Shellins want to thank everybody for your enthusiasm and your suggestions. Tomorrow, they’re going to Zarephath in Franklin Township.
I have no idea how I failed to mention the Atco Raceway, seeing as how it’s my home freakin’ town.
So I’ll get the next town over: Berlin, the Berlin Mart /Auction/Farmer’s Market/Whatever You Wanna Call It.
In Glassboro, it would either be Rowan University or possibly the “West Jersey Depot” (warning: PDF, relevant pic/info on pg. 4) which is an old historic train station they’re working on preserving.
Eh. My Cherry Hill list:
*Cherry Hill Mall (currently even more of an eyesore than usual)
*People’s Pizza, which is in every way infinitely superior to Vito’s or anywhere else on earth.
*The library. It’s a really nice building, and more of a ‘place’ to the locals than the water tower.
Outside of that little suburban blip, he definitely has to get out to Mount Misery Road and perhaps see if he can get to the retreat place of the same name. Allegedly haunted, fairly pretty, amusing name. It’s way out in the boonies, near Brown Mills, I think.
