Abandoned Southern New Jersey: A Bounty of Oddities

Author(s): Cindy Vasko
$23.99
DESCRIPTION
Even the New Jersey state government admits to New Jersey’s unfiltered individuality by way of a “Weird and Wacky New Jersey” video on the government’s official tourism website.

New Jersey even lays claim to a magazine, Weird New Jersey, now in its twenty-fifth year of publication. Sometimes the quirky things in life promote the most memorable experiences.

Southern New Jersey has a plethora of odd abandonments, as well as a few serious industrial cast-offs. Discover the ruins of a historical machining facility, a once-majestic bank, and a centuries-old glass-making factory—plus, become absorbed with the odd.

The derelict 1960s flying saucer-like Futuro homes and the wild treasures found in two astonishing junkyards are, after all, abandonments on steroids, but are more like museums than salvage sites. Rounding out the collection of Southern New Jersey is a collection of unusual forlorn train cars, a forsaken greenhouse willfully succumbing to its green past by letting nature wrap its proud skeleton, and a colorful hotel that attempted to echo the spirit of mid-century Pocono honeymoon hotels.

Enjoy some proud history, but smile while examining Southern New Jersey's bounty of oddities.
