The Beach Bar was severly damaged during Sandy. It's 2014 re-opening plans are now in limbo.

Watching an aerial shot, it was easy to recognize this seafood location in flames by it's top red/white banner cladding. The entire building appeared to be a total loss.

Thank you for posting those. I was down in Seaside Park in a rental for 2 weeks in mid to late August just last month and I neglected to take any pictures of the old boardwalk. I was so focused on what was new, because I obviously did not think this would happen. Now I wish I had. Nice pictures, thanks for sharing!

Destroyed Funtown Amusement Park Pier Seaside Heights NJ July 2013 by Photoscream, on Flickr

The above panorama was taken in mid-July. The building on the right with the triangle roof is the one seen burning in what may become (like the rollercoaster in the ocean after Sandy) the most remembered image of the catastrophic fire. That photo was taken from it's front....

I have so many pictures of Funtown I took in the summer. I was sad when I saw it looking like your first picture there but now I'd actually prefer it looking like that than seeing it burned down. At least after Sandy it was salvageable. Now it's not.

Some pictures I took during my time spent in Seaside Park this August. Featured are Seaside Heights and Seaside Park. Such a beautiful area, sad to see more devastation with this fire.

Fall color in Bergen! I'll see if I am up for a hike at High Mountain tomorrow for better fall colors (currently fighting a flu).

Kalim,

That is a gorgeous shot! Thanks for sharing. It seems that I need to get to Cranford.

We seem to be in a Metuchen frame of mind here:

In the early part of the 20th century, Metuchen had many famous intellectuals living in the town. At one point, Metuchen had a tense contest with Glen Ridge to find out which was the "brainy borough". Metuchen won, and they are still so proud:

How Did The "Brainy Borough" Get Its Name?


The Brainy Borough - Metuchen, New Jersey


History of the Borough of Metuchen


One branch of their post office bears witness to this fact. I took this photo on Tuesday, November 5, 2013:
