Just got back from vacation, driving from Minnesota to Cape May, New Jersey. We passed through Malaga, just north of Vineland, mentioned in The Clever Chemist Matter. We traveled along routes 47 and 55 from Philly, just as Johnny did.
It hasn’t changed all that much since Johnny’s visit. It is so economically depressed that the state has cut the sales tax by half in that area. They built the Atlantic City Expressway to link Philly to the casinos, which eliminated all traffic through the interior towns. Stone Harbor, where we stayed on the beach, was quite nice.
Just to get your South Jersey geography correct, Malaga is fifty miles southwest across the Pine Barrens from where the Hindenburg blew up, sixty miles SxSW from the Lindbergh kidnapping, a hundred miles south of Thomas Edison’s laboratory in West Orange, seventy miles SW of Springsteen’s Asbury Park and fifty miles SxSE from where the martians landed in Grovers Mill.
By the way, Grover’s Mill is next to the medical research hospital where the TV show House is set.
