My hometown of Montague, New Jersey: “It’s a little NY and a little PA.”
The only municipality in our state that borders both New York and Pennsylvania is finally starting to feel a little bit more like New Jersey.
Residents of rural Montague Township, population 3,753, no longer have a New York mailing address. High school students are no longer being bused across the border to [New York].
Now, that’s not to say that Montague is the typical New Jersey town. It covers more than 45 square miles, but there is not a single traffic light to be found. It’s home to High Point, the tallest elevation in New Jersey at 1,803 feet, but prohibits buildings from rising above 35 feet.
Was there a Playboy Hotel located near this area in the 1970’s?
Indeed, there was! It has since gone through a number of owners, and now sits derelict.
