Laurel of the Pines, Lakewood, NJ, postcard


Laurel of the Pines was a very excusive resort on the edge of Lakewood, NEW Jersy, not far from our Naval Air Station, Lakehurst.

A bunch of us wanted to somehow slip in the Laurel of the Pines and rub elbows with New York City's wealthiest. Another endeaver we failed at.

Ah, yes, what a wonderful place that was. My parents took me there when I was about 10. We were picked up at the train station and taken to the hotel in a horse drawn carriage. I am from Chicago, but my grandparents were from N.Y. Several years ago, I took my grandchildren to a carriage museum in Wisconsin, and there was an old carriage there from none other than The Laurel in the Pines.
