    I have lived in New Jersey all my life and there is nothing scary about it….only for minimum wage, house mortgage and car insurance.

    As with George Dayner and Vincent Van Gogh, people were scared of that nut William Blake too. The townsfolk where he lived in England did not like him because he was a bit of a nudist and was eccentric and he was judged to be mentally ill. What is normal? He was not ‘normal’. He also wrote fabulous poetry and i leave u with a quote abt the difference between artistry and apathy - ‘Some are born to sweet delight;
    Some are born to endless night’
    How abt the guy that built the ‘Coral Castle’?

    This is awsome. I heard of this before a few years agom, but never though to actually see where this palce is. I found the address and am def gonna drive by. A great piece of history worth learning about.

    I did live right behind it. In the early 60’s I remember being afraid of George Dayner.

    I would have loved to live in the Palace of Depression.

    I believe the Vineland Historical Society has a video tape of some footage.

  • 11 zerickandlauren831 // Nov 27, 2008 at 7:53 am

    is there more of the vintage footage shown in this segment that wasn’t aired? and where can I see it?

    The video is great for its time. It show how to deal with depression during a time when our country U.S.A. was suffering depression. It is good to know how to deal with things in such matter and time if this would to be a reality today. But I like to introduce a change for today’s depression for the many American people the voice of America will help make a change in many of our lives. Caring helps depression not Criticizing.

    This is very good video for history. But it is not realty of depression for today’s people. Thank you for your video.

  • 14 greenhornet59 // Dec 8, 2008 at 7:14 am

    These videos are great!!

  • 15 bjsparntz // Dec 11, 2008 at 1:01 pm

    Yeah, where are they going to find rusty cars, turtle shells, and mud?

  • 16 Sickfixx // Dec 13, 2008 at 9:23 am

    The man is working out in the hot sun for probably an eight to twelve hour shift. If he can work more efficiently with his shirt off, then you should respect that.

  • 17 guyruff2 // Dec 14, 2008 at 11:53 am

    put on a shirt, god

  • 18 rpyouknowme505 // Dec 15, 2008 at 5:45 am

  • 19 MsMercury // Dec 16, 2008 at 8:57 am

    Very interesting! Thanks for sharing that with us.

    An angel telling him to go to New Jersey? Sounds like we found out where Keven Smith got his inspiration from.

    Oh, his place looks like a hobbit dwelling.

  • 21 gangstabunnys // Dec 21, 2008 at 1:50 pm

    Now that was depressing!

  • 22 sherriblythe // Dec 22, 2008 at 3:00 pm

    At the end of the segment Mark and Mark offer to give a ‘hand’ to help out but I think some extra shirts are what’s really needed! I don’t care how hot it was that day, we don’t need to see a tubby guy (or even the skinny one) in his partial birthday suit. It may be Jersey, and it may be Weird, but please, have a little class!

  • 23 don90 // Dec 25, 2008 at 6:49 pm

    I’m right down the road from where the site was once was. Can’t wait till its rebuilt.
