Sights in the City

Somebody new wants to make a go of this site, which is between City Hall and the Municipal Court. Sandwiches and specialty drinks are among menu items.

Yet another storefront on Watchung Avenue is under renovation.

The old Elks building at 116 Watchung Avenue - is somebody in there?

The address of a new "resource center" sounded familiar - it is the old O'Connor's meat market at 200 Garfield Avenue.

This facade on Park Avenue is almost all covered up with stucco as it is converted to eight apartments.

An odd-looking truck came by with no PMUA insignia except a logo on the door - over a U.S. DOT permit from Tampa, Fla. - very odd indeed.

Just some images to ponder while awaiting the big election Tuesday ...

  1. That first picture with the arched windows has always gotten me wondering why someone wouldn't put glass back in ( if it ever was ) as it would dramatically improve the looks of that building....
    Always love your pictures Bernice...

  2. I see Bernice you are following my mothers variation on politics:

    If your candidate is the scum bag, do-nothing, then just keep quiet.

    Keep up the pictures.

  4. Take the train to Dunellen and tour the border. New roads being put in on Jefferson Ave and plenty of used cars for sale as you photograph Jefferson School, Rock Ave playground and of course Drake House on your walk back.
