Keeping our powder dry and our canon warm..

Founders Park. Ocean Grove. This is an authentic Civil War canon , and it’s aimed at Asbury Park. Paul Goldfinger photo ©

You can get a smile out of Ted Bell when you point out the direction of our canon. The young lady, an intern from the Historical Society of OG,  helps warm up a cold day and a cold canon.

Founders Park, the best park in Ocean Grove, is next to the Wesley Retention/Detention Basin and is just west of the corpse of the Warrington Hotel, and then a little more east we come to the site of the North End Redevelopment Plan which will be located next to the Boardwalk and a short distance away from where the dirty storm water will flow into the Basin and then into the Ocean.   We wrote about the history of this Union canon; just do a search at the top of this page.

    The Warrington site might still be an active crime scene. Also there has been a lawsuit over this.

    In your statement, you mention the Warrington site. Why hasn’t this site been cleared and filled in? I believe there is an ordinance that requires this site to be cleared. What is going on here? Is this more corruption of our zoning officials?
