Gillette Castle

  • 10/20/2004

I honestly didn’t know much about this place before deciding to visit it. I found out it was the home of the guy who played Sherlock Holmes on stage, a fact I admit I didn’t really care about at the time. I just figured it was a cool-looking...

World’s Greatest Electrician

  • 10/20/2004

I read about this one in an old newspaper article, along with the Ellis & Tse graves. Sal Giardino must’ve really loved his job, hence his headstone being a big black lightbulb. His daughter had the stone made, who oddly died only 3 months after he did. While...

Mary Ellis’ Grave

  • 10/20/2004

Mary Ellis’ grave itself isn’t all to interesting…it’s its location that makes it interesting. Yup, that’s one grave, sitting by itself in the New Brunswick Loews Theater parking lot, 5-6 feet higher than the rest of the ground. Back in the day, the surrounding area was her fiance’s...

Mercedes-Benz Grave

  • 10/20/2004

Stokes House 2004

  • 10/20/2004

Original Visit April 2003 This is why I don’t give out directions. I can’t believe what’s happened to the place since the last time I was there. Nearly every window has been broken. It looked like people tried setting fires inside in more than one spot. The shape...

Brooksbrae at Night (2004)

  • 10/20/2004

Not much to say; it was Halloween night and we were bored. Since I had nothing to do, I figured we could go check out Brooksbrae, since I hadn’t been there in a while. It’s amazing how different a place can look at night. Not sure what to...

New England ’04

  • 10/09/2004

Comstock Covered Bridge, CT We wanted to do another New England trip, but we didn’t want to go as far as we did the previous year – mostly because my truck was starting to show her age and I didn’t want to end up being stuck. We decided...

Waterloo Village

  • 09/20/2004

History buffs will love this place. Waterloo was a canal town in its heyday. Most of the buildings have been restored, and like many of the other towns in state parks, people reenact the crafts & dress of the time period. The buildings are from the 1700’s &...
