The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park NJ, also known as the Menlo Park Museum / Edison Memorial Tower, is a memorial to inventor and businessman Thomas Alva Edison, located in the Menlo Park area of Edison, New Jersey. The tower and museum were dedicated on February 11, 1938, on what would have been the inventor's 91st birthday.
The tower marks the location of Edison's Menlo Park laboratory. Edison and his staff later relocated to West Orange, NJ in 1884 to what is now the Thomas Edison National Historical Park, after which the original buildings began to deteriorate. By 1926 most of the buildings had either collapsed or burned, and the only two remaining buildings were moved to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan.
The Tower, which rises 131 feet above the Terrace, is topped by a 25 foot high Bulb made of Pyrex segments.
However, the Tower has deteriorated to the point where the concrete is crumbling, exposing the corroded reinforcing rods in its walls. It has been closed to the public for years and a chain link fence keeps would-be visitors at a distance to protect them from falling masonry. Preservation New Jersey has named it one of the state's top endangered sites.
The tower is currently in early stages of restoration with plans to open it again one day.

UTRECHT - Het Koninklijke Concertgebouworkest heeft een concert gegeven in het Wilhelmina Park te Utrecht. Gastsolisten waren Lavinia Meijer en Giovanca Ostiana.
Giovanca received an Edison Award nomination, and won both the Laren Jazz Award and the 3FM Serious Talent Award. On 3 March 2010, she received a Silver Harp price that awards young artists who have already made a significant contribution to Dutch music while still having a huge future ahead of them.
She is a goodwill amabassador for Cliniclowns, and "Because I'm a girl". Cliniclowns are volunteers trying to help children in Dutch hospitals.
Na optredens als achtergrondzangeres en in de studio gestaan te hebben met diverse acts, zoals Izaline Calister, Rootsriders, bekend van Tribute 2 Bob Marley, Jhelisa Anderson, Benny Sings en samenwerking met Wouter Hamel, gaat ze steeds meer als solist naar buiten treden. Sinds 2006 treedt zij steeds meer uit de schaduw, in eerste instantie in samenwerking met andere artiesten, maar in 2008 ook met een solo-album.
In 2007 was ze één van de zangeressen op de cd "The Mighty 8" van het Nationaal Popinstituut.
Ze heeft in 2007 haar masters in de Orthopedagogiek aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam behaald.
In 2007 had ze een duet-hit "As long as we're in love", een duet met Wouter Hamel. Extra bekendheid verkreeg zij toen Giovanca diverse keren op de landelijke televisie (onder andere in De Wereld Draait Door, Pauw & Witteman) optrad, en de dagbladen (Het Parool), tijdschriften (Nieuwe Revu) artikelen over haar talent schreven.
In maart 2008 verscheen haar solo-debuutalbum, getiteld "Subway Silence". De eerste single van dit album, met de titel "On My Way", leidt tot liveoptredens bij onder andere GIEL, Raymann is Laat en Goedemorgen Nederland. Ze zet zich ook in voor goede doelen, zoals Cliniclowns, "Because I'm a girl".... Als ambassadrice van Plan Nederland is ze onder andere actief geweest in Sierra Leone.
Giovanca ontving op 3 maart 2010 uit handen van Frank Boeijen een Zilveren Harp.
Named after Thomas Edison, the Edison Theatre opened in 1941 and showed movies until 1980. Although it has been remodeled into offices, it retains its wonderful exterior and is definitely one of the most architecturally-noteworthy buildings in Fort Myers.
