After we went to the Dunbas Castle, we decided to head over to the now-defunct Starlite Ballroom. On the grounds are these small castles that were very cool. We only saw one, but it was worth the trip!
This is just one side. There's even a waterfall right in the middle of the lower portion that's fed from the water in the moat. Pretty wild!
So then we started walking around a little bit and went around the back of the building. It's now owned by a Hasidic Jewish sect and there were lots of lights on inside and people walking around, so we decided to just stick to ourselves.
Here's the sign over the doorway.
And while we were around the back of the building, we spied these concrete deer. Absolutely no idea why they were there or what was intended with them, and we even discussed taking an ear, but decided to let them rest in peace.
The last shot of the day that I took was of these upper room windows - fourth floor - of stacks and stacks of mattresses. The entire event struck me as something that should be written up in Weird NJ Fringe. So bizarre!

Sounds like a fun weekend. And yeah, those mattresses are a bit creepy!
ReplyDeleteWe should have rescued the deer!
