American Dreams in Morristown, NJ
Morristown, New Jersey, has seen its share of American Dreams go boom and bust. That's where the county jail is--that's bust. It's also where lawyers are elevated to judges.
One man's dream was to help blind people learn to use guide dogs (see below).
When your American Dream is not going very well, you can pray, even in a church, especially in Morristown. There's churches across the street from each other, next door to each other, around the corner from each other...You can pray when it's going well, too. "Thanks" is a prayer.
George Washington truly slept in Morristown. His American Dream was the founding of a nation of free people, unleashed to put their genius to good use.
Here's a beautiful church -- I didn't make a note to self as to it's name. Anybody know it? Leave a comment below...
The Morristown Green has gone through many lives, including druggy hangout in the 60s and 70s. These folks are Founding Fathers. George Washington, right, famously spent two winters in headquarters in Ford Mansion in Morristown, once in the winter of 1777 and again in 1779-80.
A pillar commemorating the Civil War.
This is a statue of Morris Frank with Buddy, the first seeing eye dog.
For more information, here's the plaque.
A church that's circular on the end to the right, whith flying buttresses like Notre Dame. Say, if you like my blog, would you sign up to follow it? Thanks!!
