Memorialized in Monroe
Hey guys, I was wondering if you're familiar with the front
yard memorial of the Twin Towers in the Jamesburg area? The house is on Mounts
Mills Rd, just off of Rt. 522 (Buckelew Ave) halfway between Englishtown and
Jamesburg, in Monroe. The towers are quite tall, I'd guesstimate around 10 feet
each, not including the radio tower. There's a flagpole flying the Stars and
Stripes just behind them. They look like they're sided with gray enameled metal
panels, maybe from air conditioning units? The memorial looks like it's been
there awhile (it looks like it was built to last), and seems to be well
maintained. I spotted the memorial while chasing yard sales in the area — it
was hard to miss. Obviously the owner of the house doesn't want ANYONE to forget
what happened on 9/11, not for a minute.  -Frank B.

A Message from the
Towers' Creator
I am the creator and owner of the house in NJ with the
13.5-foot tall replicas of the Twin Towers on the front lawn. It is located in
Monroe Township. I was very happy to see it in your magazine. For your info,
they are 1:100 scale, first raised on December 16, 2001. They have flashing
aircraft warning lights on each corner, and each tower flashes independent of
the other. It's located on Mounts Mills Road just off of Route 522. -Kenneth
