At a diner near the Rte. 34 circle in Wall is this colorful dinosaur statue made of car parts by Colts Neck/Farmingdale resident Jim Gary, famous for such creations. He passed away in 2006, but had a very interesting history you can read about here. We feel a better name for the establishment would be The Dinersaur, but apparently we are too creative for our own good, since it is called, blandly, The Roadside Diner. We’ve not eaten there (yet).

The Dinersaur

If our memory serves correctly, this was not a Whack-A-Turtle game stand at the Middlesex County Fair…but the prizes for whatever game was being played were these cute and colorful plush sea turtles.
