It's amazing how both Red Bank and Long Branch have changed in the past 30 years or so. The extension of the wires played a big role in that change.

I remember when the bank in Red Bank opened a new branch office in Long Branch, NJ.
It was known as the Long Branch branch of the Red Bank bank. Ba-da-boom! Bing!! Go |
