Green Avenue. An unusual and artistic tree just to make things a bit different and interesting

Both my Son & my Wife took a short vacation to visit New Jersey last week and I asked my son Michael to take some Photographs of New Jersey Transit Trains. He actually came home with some great photos and since he used one of my camera's, I will be posting some here on flickr™.

This Photograph was taken by my son on Friday June 3, 2017. It shows the Clock in front of the Bust of President James Madison. This Clock is located across from 1 Waverly Place at its intersection with Main Street (aka: State Road 124) in Madison, New Jersey. Waverly Place is a short street, which becomes Central Ave on the NE Side and Green Ave. on the SW Side.

Madison was originally the Village of Bottle Hill, but changed it's name to Madison in 1834 to Honor the Fourth President of the United States, James Madison (1751-1836). The Sculpture was dedicated in 2003. He served as President from 1809 to 1817.

My G-Grandnparents Michael and Maria McNulty

built a house, still standing, at the blue X,

Seabrey Creek was long filled in, but it still

periodically flooded our basement when I lived

in the house.

were younger, lived on the classier north side of the

railroad tracks at the top of the map.

What has caused the numerous rust-colored stains on the concrete!! I do not dislike the stains but I want to know what caused them.

The areas of wetness on the ground are: a fresh application of pesticide.

Does one person own two bad businesses? Am I supposed to be shopping for books here? I do not know what a "newborn enterprise" is and I hate the name. Is it about newborns as in babies? The mysteriousness is insulting. Ugh and the two clashing typefaces, one in black and one in dark brown, ugh.

It is entirely alright to include "Inc." as part of the legal name of a company yet refrain from including the "Inc." on that corporation's business signs. Imagine a businessperson who does not know that: What else might they not know?

They look older than they are, on account of their situation among unfashionable styles of varnished wood and blue carpeting. The two basketball trophies on the right look like they are from 1978 or 1983 or sometime like that, but they are dated 2007.
