Billy Joel wrote the song "Allentown", but originally wrote it about a town of a different name in Long Island. He changed the title and lyrics after visiting Allentown, PA. I am unable to find a song called "Allentown" that was written by Bruce Springsteen. |

1. Bruce Springsteen DID write the song Allentown, just not about Allentown, NJ. I believe they said not to confuse it with that Allentown.
2. The picture you posted purportedly of "Cranbury" is actually Red Bank, the next photo down. The one above it clearly shows the park and the now absent watertower.
Time for glasses, maybe? |

Cranbury
Nestled amongst the gently rolling farmland of New Jersey’s Middlesex County, Cranbury’s roots date back to the late 17th century; the township is one of the state’s oldest settlements. It was during the 18th century that Cranbury started to expand, and several inns built during this time still stand, including the Cranbury Inn built in 1780. This feature established the township as an important rest stop between New York City and Philadelphia. Today, its rich history is beautifully preserved, almost all of the village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, while the Brainerd Lake and Village Park are the setting for summer concerts.

"Not to be confused with the Pennsylvania town of the same name immortalized in a Bruce Springsteen song, New Jersey’s Allentown..."
I stopped reading after this. |
