There are some really unique and beautiful houses in Freehold. Look at the Butterfly House:  Anyone have others? There are of course many beautiful ones on Main Street, Brinkerhoff and near the Court House. FR |

I do not have pictures to share here, but I hope that others do. It would make for a very nice thread.

Ahh...perfect opportunity to remind everyone that Historic Preservation meets tonight in Borough Hall at 7 pm. We're awaiting 5 new appointments, next month. Right now we are scraping for a quorum, which we believe we'll have this evening.
If your interested...drop by.

My personal favorite is the across from the Elks. The lovely Pink home. (Use to be owned by a Baroness and her sister -- they may still be there.)
I also like Jeff Jones's old house on Broadway -- and the one next to it. (which was my brothers briefly)
I like Nolan Higgin's home as well -- and a few on Brinkerhoff.
Lot's of very pretty homes in town.

My personal favorite is the across from the Elks. The lovely Pink home. I love the "Pink Home" as well. Such a beauty! Would love to see the inside one day! I've included a photo of my own home, which I think is "beautiful" - though I may be biased   |

Morris Dudette:
I notice a flag, besides the American one, flying outside your home.
If that were a Mexican flag the people here would be enflamed. However, since it is not, no one has said a word. In the past, people on this board have commented about people waving Mexican flags at rallies.
I think it is nice to celebrate your heritage and I think it looks very nice.

...AND the Orange and Blue of Syracuse U!!!!! Lets Go Orange!!!
I guess this is offensive to all Rutgers "State University of New Jersey" Alumni.

Hmmm...now there's a good idea! Four flags. Procure one? Let's see...www.nflbanners.com $24.95. But, like Thomas Jones... it not be ready for the opener.
The Raintree Foodtown DOES have those Jet player inflatables for the front lawn. I've got one of those and of course I have a very rare "Oscar the Orange," too!
After GO ORANGE. It's J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS.

www.acmelingo.com/flagpolemain.htmI have a 25’ one piece tapered aluminum pole from them. The best quality and best looking pole around and made in N.J. They also make one-piece aluminum 6’ porch poles and mounts that will stand up to any weather. My father has one.

Oh man! And here I was thinking that was the Mexican flag hung sideways as a sign of protest. ;D My apologies to the new neighbors for my ignorant and evil thoughts!

Luddite? Today you're "ludditing." The other day you were "masticating." You definitely have a way with words.
I remember the famous words that once emanated from the mouth of that great conservative orator, William F. Buckley (actually VIA that great impressionist David Frye)
"We shall endeavor to present recourse to all your queries and your tendrils."

Casually Waving a Flag It's funny you should mention it. Our neighbor from across the street came over one day and asked us if our other flag is a Mexican flag as she "and all her friends thought it was a Mexican flag". I had to explain to her that it is an Irish flag. |

Morris, your home is indeed exquisite! I adore older homes such as yours, and you have done a masterful job of keeping it warm and inviting looking. That's my dream home one day. I have never liked modern houses. Thank you so much for posting that. Out of curiosity, when was your home built? I will venture around 1908 to 1915...how far off am I? Callipoe~ Thank you for your comments. When we bought the home, we were told it was "Circa 1910". We have since learned that it is "Circa 1889". One of our neighbors has provided us with old maps of the town and we found our home on one dating back to 1891. We also found a deed to the home from 1889. We truly love not only the history of our home, but the history of the town. Lauren |

Aren't you the folks with the speeding on your street? You and your neighbors met with the police to rectify that several months ago? Any improvement- if you are the same folks? Otherwise, I apologize for being mistaken. Marc LeVine |

Yes, we are one in the same! Good memory! As far as we've seen - there will most likely always be an issue of speeders down 25mph residential streets. Unfortunate, but true. We just hope no one has to seriously get injured in order for it to stop completely. Fog lines and a double yellow line were painted, additional signs were erected on either side of the street, and "check your speed" signs were placed in the middle of the road. There certainly has been an improvement from what it was like without all the work, and we do appreciate all the help that the Boro and Police have given to this matter. Thank you, too, Marc for helping to get the ball rolling! Lauren Morris |

Hi, Lauren! Thanks so much for the illumination. I am so thrilled that you see the beauty of this town that I do. I'm glad you are here and I hope you have a very happy and healthy existence in Freehold Borough! Cheers! Thank you so much, Calliope! It's nice to be welcomed to town! Perhaps we'll bump into one another on Main Street one of these days! Lauren |

Once in awhile I DO serve a useful purpose. You are very welcome. I was glad to help.
We live with the same speeding issues on Barkalow Avenue. It's a challenge - but we keep trying to slow people down over here.
Lovely home by the way. Glad you're among us as residents.
If there is anything else you ever need, please let me know.
Regards,
Marc

I used to sell at both markets. You are right, Caliope. Good call on the Golden Nugget for antiques. Best part is that you are only a couple of miles from a nice walk, great lunch or dinner and Gerenser's Ice Cream cone in New Hope and Lambertville.
And Spring and Fall are the best time to visit. In fact, I'm staring at my Deerhead, hanging above my desk, which was bought at the Golden Nugget. He's wearing his authentic union army kepi, too! Stuck in between his 3 point antlers.

If you know about this -- sorry -- I didn't mean to insult your intelligence! Not an insult at all! I had no idea about these flea markets! My parents will be visiting in late September - I'll be sure to bring my Mother along for a shopping day trip! My son and I are off to the Cole Bros. Circus! How great is it that it's right around the corner? (another great plus of living in Freehold Borough!) Lauren |
