Sky Watch on Raritan Avenue

up South Third Avenue
As a continuation to the My World post on Raritan Avenue, this week I’m featuring a Sky Watch on Raritan Ave. Above is a glimpse up South Third Ave in the center of Highland Park.

A street scene between Fourth and Fifth Avenues, one can see a Bradford pear tree with its red fall foliage (now gone and bare).

Over the Moon Toys
Here’s an ambulance from Woodbridge zooming along past my favorite toy store, Over the Moon Toys. We are fortunate that two excellent hospitals, Robert Wood Johnson and St. Peter’s, are just over the bridge from us in New Brunswick.

While standing in front of the supermarket on Raritan Avenue a few days ago, my daughter and I were privileged to view this sunset.

Ilana-Davita, I bet you would like it here. Everyone (or almost everyone) reads a lot. Very literary town.
