This is the location of AT&T's "Pole Farm". In the early 1900's AT&T had their scientist's search out coordinates for the optimum area to send radio wave signals for telephone usage. After extensive research they chose this spot in my area for the construction of hundreds of telephone poles erected in a diamond shape pattern.
There was one pole per country and it was pointed toward that country, predominantly in Europe and the Caribbean. So, in the early 1940's, for example, when president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to discuss WW2 war strategy with Winston Churchill in London, their telephone signals would meet at this spot.
There is only one pole that remains standing and it is believed to be pointed toward Tel Aviv, Israel.
The beginning of the end for the "pole farm" was the launch of the first communications satellite in the early 1960's

Hampton Inn Princeton

Doubletree by Hilton Monroe Township Cranbury

10/10 Excellent

"We recently stayed at the DoubleTree and had a very pleasant experience overall. The location was ideal—just 20 minutes from my daughter’s basketball tournament venue—and there were plenty of restaurants and shopping options nearby, which made everything very convenient. The room was clean, the service was great, and housekeeping did a wonderful job. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area for a few days. The only thing I would suggest improving is the on-site restaurant. It’s called “390 Steak & Seafood,” but surprisingly, they didn’t offer any steak or seafood on the menu. This was quite misleading and disappointing, especially since we had planned to dine there one evening. It would be helpful if the restaurant name reflected the actual menu offerings more accurately. Aside from that, it was a great stay! "
