In my lunchtime web wanderings, I stumbled across this 1900 historical image from the town square in Newton, New Jersey.
I know that area very well—I lived a two-minute walk from that very spot for four years in the late 1980s, and worked as a reporter at the New Jersey Herald, whose offices were behind the courthouse.
Nearly 90 years later, the view from that spot was the same as in this photo, and I’m told it looked the same six years ago, too.
