Friday Bonus
This week's bonus is a little different. As a life-long New Jersey resident (not counting six months as a Hoosier) I thought it would be interesting to see if I could collect a unique audio clip to represent each of the state's 565 municipalities. So far there are several transportation-related clips, including modes not usually covered in the TCN, such as tram cars and steam trains. I invite you to click on the link below and give a listen. Just double-click on any of the photos for am brief audio tour. More clips are being added daily. I welcome your comments.
