In Popular Culture - Bruce Springsteen[edit]

I really doubt Bruce was BORN on Randolph Street. He LIVED on Randolph Street. The closest hospital for births in the area was Fitkin Hospital (now Jersey Shore University Medical Center) in Neptune, NJ. This is where my sister and 2 brothers were born in the 1960s when we lived in Freehold Boro.Aspenguy2 (talk)

I found an article from the Asbury Park Press which discussed the 3 places he lived in the Boro. He started out at Randolph St until he was 6. The family then moved to 39 1/2 Institute St until he was in high school. This was a short walk to St. Rose every morning. When he was in high school, he lived on South St. When his parents left Freehold Boro, he left Freehold Boro never to live there again.Aspenguy2 (talk)

I changed this section to say "...one of the streets" which is more accurate.Aspenguy2 (talk)

Freehold in 19th century - revision concerning train track location[edit]

Anyone who grew up in Freehold knows that the train station is on Throckmorton Street. You can take Throckmorton from Main Street and follow the train tracks out of town. There was another active train track on the other side of town which is now a hiking/biking trail. This was accomplished using the Federal Law that retains the track right-of-way for possible re-use as a train corridor if ever the need can be demonstrated. This was the same law which help the NYC High Line turn into a pedestrian walkway instead of tearing it down.Aspenguy2 (talk)

The Revolutionary War in Freehold - minor edits[edit]

The original wording was not completely accurate in my opinion. They engaged the British in what was solely Freehold Township before the locations became Freehold Boro (starting 1869) & Manalapan Townships (1884).Aspenguy2 (talk)

I've modified the language to "The initial engagement was in doubt until Washington arrived because Charles Lee was retreating from the battlefield. Washington rallied the Continentals and strongly engaged the British forces and they held their ground on the battlefield.". This also gives context to why Lee was court martialed as noted in the paragraph following.Aspenguy2 (talk)

Adelberg & Pepe[edit]

These 2 are cited as references in the main article. I can't find an initial reference to the original source material that are noted in multiple places in the article. Shouldn't there be an initial reference somewhere?Aspenguy2 (talk)

I believe I've tracked down the 2 authors, Michael Adelberg and Barbara Pepe. I've ordered their books and will verify the page numbers and also enter the name of the books on one of the entries for each author so it is more authoritative in this Wiki.Aspenguy2 (talk)

I found the "Sources" for Adelberg and Pepe on the Freehold Twp Wiki page. I added the same section to this Wiki entry.Aspenguy2 (talk)

Picture caption correction[edit]

The picture of the bus said the "corner" which is not correct. Throckmorton goes all the way through Main street, ending at South Street.Aspenguy2 (talk)
