Submitted 12/18/24. Raritan is the Lenape name for the river. There are very few examples of Lenape words inscribed in the landscape although they were here before anyone else.

Submitted 12/18/24. This ripped down barricade tape interweaves English "caution" and Spanish "cuidado". This is an example of "authoritative" multilingual signage that has become "noise" in the landscape.

Submitted 12/18/24. One English sign, "Repair and maintenance of cars prohibited in parking area" is translated into Spanish in another sign by its side: "Prohibidó hacer reparaciones y mantenimiento de vehículos en la area de estacionamiento" (is this correct Spanish?). Farther away, one sign appears only in English: (something about the managment will not take responsibility for anything stolen out of cars parked in the lot). Who does managment presume to be the theives and who does maintenance on their cars?
