From Landmark To Eyesore: The Clock on Valley National Bank Maplewood - Fix It, Please!

Mrs. Uburbs? 

How about the town fixing the clock in Ricalton Square? Could have used a few bucks from the P.O. sale to fix it.

And maybe NJT could fix the clock on the platform, and maybe they could all display the same time. (I just use my phone.)

Brilliant. You and I are two of the six people on here to get the reference.

The clock seen from the train station is the Valley National Bank clock, seen from the other side.

Can't we be happy?
Can't we be happy like the swimming turtles, swimming turtles?
Can't we be happy like the bumblebees on the River Tees?
They buzz in harmonies!
They buzz! They buzz in harmonies
Can't we...
Can't we be happy like them?
I wanna know

Sly one, Max. (Thankfully, I never had to see the Valley National clock that late.)

In the age of the Internet, public shaming gets things done.

Not the same. There is a clock on the center platform. It has been wrong for as long as I've lived here.

Maybe we could take up a collection to help Valley National pay to fix fix their clock/thermometer

Maybe the new bank in the Clarus will have a better clock.

I think it worked in 1978-9 because I could see if I was going to be late to Maplewood Junior High at which point I'd have to run.

ETA:  It went by another name then, which I've forgotten

If it has any kind of clock that works it will be a better clock.
