Tour of the Town

Rutherford is alot smaller than I remember... except for the trees, which have continued growing and made getting good photographs of some landmarks more challenging. The tour is broken into four pages including this "West Side (of town) Story," "The Park Avenue Tour," the "Rutherford Schools Tour," and "Parting Shots." Enjoy your tour, which highlights some of the many changes I observed. Except for the Union Avenue Bridge shots, all photos were taken on Sunday, August 3, 2008 by Steve Reenstra.
