On October 30, 1938, H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" narrated by Orson Welles was broadcast over the radio waves. Though this was a work of fiction, many folks believed it was the real deal and aliens were invading.
In Princeton Junction, NJ, sits Van Nest Park, in which sits a memorial to this awesome event in broadcasting history, as the main action of the story takes place in Grover's Mill, NJ.
We visited there today, and besides having to deal with "undesirables" (as you often do when visiting sites in NJ) and graffiti on the monument (ditto) it was a pretty cool site to see!
Maybe one day martians really will invade and they will do something about the "undesirables." One can only hope...
Until Next Time,
