I love the rooftop Packard.

The walkway reminds me of a snake bridge in Tucson.

Kilroy was here is an American popular culture expression, often seen in graffiti. Its origins are debated, but the phrase and the distinctive accompanying doodle—a bald-headed man (possibly with a few hairs) with a prominent phallic[1] nose peeking over a wall with the fingers of each hand clutching the wall—is widely known among U.S. residents who lived during World War II.

Fort Parsippany. Drivers new to Route 10 do double takes when they glimpse the 36-acre Powder Mill Heights condominiums embedded atop Watnong Mountain. When they were built in 1994, some locals mistook them for a fortress. A neighborhood newsletter called them a monstrosity. Today, though, the "fortress" at 2000 Gates Court is an established luxury housing landmark with a spectacular view.

Ah, 2000 Gates Court. Fun personal fact: I worked for PSEG a few years back installing automated readers on gas meters, and I did the retrofits for this particular apartment complex. The surrounding neighborhood is pretty nice too.

“A $4.3 million pedestrian bridge now allows walkers to proceed diagonally for 170 feet over Route 46 from a Burger King to a strip of lawn on Savage Road near a park.”

$4.3 million?

[TigersEye]

It’s your state! ping ;^)

They all sound like things our goobermint would fund with stimulus money.
