This is the location of AT&T's "Pole Farm". In the early 1900's AT&T had their scientist's search out coordinates for the optimum area to send radio wave signals for telephone usage. After extensive research they chose this spot in my area for the construction of hundreds of telephone poles erected in a diamond shape pattern.
There was one pole per country and it was pointed toward that country, predominantly in Europe and the Caribbean. So, in the early 1940's, for example, when president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to discuss WW2 war strategy with Winston Churchill in London, their telephone signals would meet at this spot.
There is only one pole that remains standing and it is believed to be pointed toward Tel Aviv, Israel.
The beginning of the end for the "pole farm" was the launch of the first communications satellite in the early 1960's

MHO Hotel Bordentown

5/5 Excellent

"This will be my second stent at MHO, and so far so good. The room is spotless, and there's a calm quiet atmosphere. There's nothing that helps you sleep better than a economy hotel that has great rooms, and quiet surroundings. The staff do a wonderful job preparing the rooms. They also treat you with friendly positive attitudes. For the price you would think there's going to be plenty to dislike. Total opposite there's no complaints from me."
