History of Mt. Laurel

Willingboro's Carl Lewis RoadyGoat

Willingboro, a township in Burlington County, New Jersey, is the hometown of track-and-field legend Carl Lewis. Lewis grew up in Willingboro and competed for Willingboro High School before becoming one of the greatest Olympians in history. Across four Games — 1984, 1988, 1992 and 1996 — he won nine Olympic gold medals and ten medals overall, including the long jump at four consecutive Olympics. At the 1984 Los Angeles Games he took four golds in a single Olympics, matching Jesse Owens. The International Olympic Committee later named him Sportsman of the Century.

The Toynbee Tiles: Philadelphia's Sidewalk Mystery RoadyGoat

1983

The Toynbee Tiles are dozens of small handmade plaques pressed flat into the asphalt of Center City Philadelphia, most clustered along Chestnut Street, with copies found in roughly two dozen other U.S. cities. Each carries a version of the same cryptic text: "TOYNBEE IDEA / IN MOVIE '2001 / RESURRECT DEAD / ON PLANET JUPITER." They began appearing in Philadelphia around 1983, and for decades no one knew who made them. The 2011 documentary "Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles," which won the U.S. Documentary directing award at Sundance, builds the case that the maker was a reclusive South Philadelphia man who dropped the tiles through a hole cut in his car floor, letting traffic press them into the road. He was never caught. Many original tiles have since been paved over and survive only in photographs. (Sources: Wikipedia; Paste; spottedbylocals.)

The Mütter Museum RoadyGoat

1858

At 19 South 22nd Street in Philadelphia, inside the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, the Mütter Museum keeps a collection of medical oddities and anatomical specimens — over 37,000 of them, with roughly a tenth on display. Its stars include the Soap Lady, a 19th-century woman whose body naturally turned to a soap-like substance called adipocere; the Hyrtl Skull Collection of 139 human skulls assembled by Viennese anatomist Josef Hyrtl; and a set of microscope slides of Albert Einstein's brain. (Contrary to the popular line, the museum holds thin tissue slides of Einstein's brain, not the whole organ.) Towering over the main gallery is the Mütter American Giant, at 7 feet 6 inches the tallest human skeleton on exhibit in North America.
