Glaring misspelling in billboard, Route 70 in Lakehurst
And almost two years later, this sign is still up, misspelling and all.
Bone Hill
Bone Hill Bone Hill was a section of Manchester Township in Ocean County, off what is now Route 37. There is still a road off Route 37 called Bone Hill Road, but no sign of any settlement on that road. About 1/4 mile further up Route 37 is a graveyard, which I have been told is the Bone Hill Cemetery. It is worth noting, I suppose, that none of the residents listed below are buried in that cemetery. In 1930, according to the census, there were two homes in this 'section' of the township. They were occupied as follows: Hse Fam Surname Name Age Birth Occupation Real Est. 31 33 CHILDERS Earl C. 36 IA --- $4200 Minette 34 NJ Earl S. 13 NY John J. 11 NY George 9 NY Albert 7 NY Jane 5 NY Ralph 3y 5mos NY Marguerite 1y 9mo NJ Phebe 10 mos NJ 32 34 CARPENTER Frank 26 NJ carpenter Rose 24 NJ Frank 19 NJ Lillian 1

Abandoned building on Route 70 in Lakehurst
This was taken in 2011; the building is no longer standing. I seem to remember that it was some sort of bar or club in the 1990s, but memory is failing me as to the specifics.
