Gosh Greenie, I thought it would be something fun like a Bavarian Bier Garden or a roller rink. 
Actually, on second thought, I kinda like lumberyards. |

The Short Hills Mall was not closed in and they had turkeys wandering in a gated garden at this time of year. |

you know when you're in Maplewood when you know you moved here for diversity (actually the houses were cheaper than SH or Summit), but people call you a racist anyway.

you could dash into The Center on Christmas Eve, buy last minitue groceries at Kings, Stollen for Christmas morning at Peter's Bakery, Flowers at McClintock's, spare bulbs for the window candles at the 5 & 10, and some items at the hardware store and be home before the kids woke up. Boy! Do I miss those days! |

Does anyone know the history of the small park on Valley St in South Orange at the bottom of 5th St? Between Valley and the train tracks? There is a small monument there.
I heard it was a potter's field ? |

Musicme:
Someone once told me that before it was built Memorial Park used to be the site of a veteran's cemetary. (This could help explain the memorial plaques in the main entrance of the main library and the use of the name Memorial Park.) When the decision was made to turn that land into a park, the bodies were exhumed and moved to the park you mentioned. Don't know if this is true. Perhaps someone who has been in the area longer than I have can verify.
Bella:
Do you know how many Waeschles there are in that family? When my son was in kindergarten with Kevin, who I believe is the youngest, Kevin told my son that he had 20 brothers and sisters. That number always seemed a little excessive to me but they certainly are a big family.

Joan,
Fifteen or sixteen, but definately not 20. I didn't have a Waeschle in my year, but there was one a year ahead of me and one a year behind me. |

The park on Valley St. in SO was the old cemetery. I heard not long ago that in the '70s the gravestones were being vandalized (rumor has it that some ended up in Millburn) so a decision was made to bury the remaining headstones and replace them with the single monument that is there today. The gentlemen who told us this said that he had operated the bulldozer that leveled the site. But apparently the actual graves are still there. |
