Five correct answers this week.
An M60 Vietnam-era Army tank at Montville VFW Post 5481 on Changebridge Road is the subject of this week's Where In Montville. Douglas Vliet posted the correct answer on our Facebook page. He wasn't the only one to post the correct answer. Patti says in the comments, Is this the army tank at the community park Bill Weiss answers, The tank at community center And Heidi Calcagno confirms: I agree with Bill and Patti...definitely the Army tank by the VFW offices. Another reader writes in an email, "It's a picture of the tank at the rec center." These folks know Montville and for that they get a huge shout-out.

Congratulations to our winners!
At the end of the day, it's a blue post. But it catches your eye. I've noticed it, and it turns out I'm not alone. In a comment on this week's Where In Montville challenge, Larry D'Oench notes the post's proximity to Condurso's Garden Center & Farm Market: River Road between Condurso's and the road to Lake Hiawatha And Dick Vreeland tips the answer in an email. Hi Jake, that post is from the real estate sign on River Road just South of Condurso's They nailed it. Congratulations and thank you to our winners. Usually we try to upload some other photos of the subject when we post the answer, but this week we decided one photo of the blue post is enough.

With comments from a mom and two Montville mayors—plus the completion of a rhyme.
This week's Where In Montville featured a closeup of a sundial at the Community Park Playground and received comments from two Montville mayors. Former Mayor Art Daughtry correctly IDed the spot and noted the sundial was dedicated to Carl Kieber, the first president of the Kiwanis Club. Current Mayor Tim Braden suggested that perhaps Mr. Daughtry had an advantage because, as it turns out, Mr. Daughtry installed the sundial along with Mr. Braden. Art, I am not going to say that you cheated in this contest but I have a picture of you installing this sundial! Carol said she was showing her son how to use the sundial, which could certainly come in handy if his smart phone ever runs out of battery and he needs to know the time. I was just …

Time stands still when ... So begins a rhyme engraved on this thing that is somewhere in Montville Township. We've written previously about a possible Montville time warp in front of Montville Township High School, but this is not that. Tell us in the comments Where In Montville we took this photo and you could be this week's winner. Bonus points for anyone who can complete the rhyme. And, as always, any other amusing or insightful commentary is appreciated.

This stop sign with snappy dialogue is at River Road and Route 202.
It's not at every intersection you get to read a brief exchange of dialogue. Near J.A. Van Riper Realtors and the Montville Inn on Main Road, you can. There is a stop sign there with a message: "Stop Eating Animals," and below it, a response, "Shut Up Hippy!" (It was apparently doctored with a couple stickers.) A huge shout-out to readers who posted the correct answer: Eileen Galley, abc123 and Bill Weiss It's on the corner of River Road and Rt. 202. : ) River Road across from the Montville Inn At the end of River Road by the Montville Inn

A test to see how well you know Montville.
Do you recognize the red octogon above? The sign in question has two stickers on it. One says, EATING ANIMALS The other says, Shut Up Hippy! Tell us in the comments Where In Montville we took this photo, or pretty much any interesting or amusing thing you want, and you could win a shout-out when we post the answer later in the week. (Last time, per a reader's excellent suggestion, we snapped slanted and discolored stop signs in front of the Montville Post Office.)

The church's historic bell tower was restored several years ago.
It rang out in unison: Montville Reformed Church. Posts from Ruth Worth Nieskens, Linda Spinella, Dan Grant and Bill Weiss all correctly noted the Church Lane house of worship was the location of our latest Where In Montville photo ID challenge. Another reader emailed the answer and noted they attended the church in the 1950s. The challenge photo featured the church's historic bell tower. A church committee began raising $40,000 to restore the historic tower in 2008, according to the church website. The church is led by the Rev. Charles Bigelow. From Dan Grant: The Montville Reformed Church which was established before the Township of Montville was established. It started in the area of where the Boonton reservoir is and later moved to the…

A test to see how well you know Montville—with a quote from the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Does this photo ring any bells? If so, chime in. Tell us in the comments Where In Montville we took this photo, or pretty much any interesting or amusing thing you want, and you could win a shout-out when we post the answer on Friday. We didn't plan this or anything, but (as you can see by the bulletin at the top of the page about schools and town hall being closed) Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and our featured photo is of a bell. King sometimes cited a John Donne passage featuring church bells, and he did so in his last Sunday sermon, "Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution," given at the National Cathedral in the days before his assassination. Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made of this world a …
