The Freight Station

  • 03/20/2005

Why I’ve waited so long to put this one up I don’t know. The Freight Station sits just on the side of Rt. 166, diagonally across from Huddy Park. It looks like a rail car and is quite weathered now. The middle part of the roof is sinking...

Fireside Village

  • 02/20/2005

Along Rt. 30 you can find the Fireside Steakhouse, which is now closed and for sale. Behind the building is an odd little village….almost looked like a Midgetville. The small town is called Fireside Village, and it has just about everything: its own chapel, a general store, a...

Bridge to Nowhere

  • 01/28/2005

We discovered this while out geocaching. It may have half-burned down a last fall, but that doesn’t take away from the uniqueness of this bridge. You may no longer be able to cross it, but you can still see where this bridge leads……nowhere. To quote another cacher “Definitely...

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...
