I know the sign's not there anymore, but it's fun that it has been preserved for posterity in Google Maps (and Google accepted my edit for the website link to point to drsgme.org!)

EDIT (July 26 2023): Reposted yet again, as a tourist attraction. If you leave a review, please keep it relevant to the actual site and the reason it's there (mr boost's sign), not random meme pics like last time :) Hopefully it'll stick this time. https://goo.gl/maps/2EMbUwc442KvByyt6

That's hilarious it points to drsgme.org now. Nicely done.

... and, as of a few hours ago (8PM PST), Google Maps appears to have removed the entry. Might be a glitch, but I bet someone thought it wasn't legit and purged my entry. Google Sucks.

Well, for what it's worth, here is what it looked like (and it was up for the last few months, minus the website link to drsgme.org which was just approved yesterday)

Amazing! Love to see it's now recorded as a historical landmark. Hopefully it continues to catch people's attention when looking at their map around NJ.

The website addition is chef's kiss mwah!

Looks like Google Maps killed it :(

I wonder if this post or the one on the 'old place' (r/SS) got their attention (whose attention, I wonder? Did someone submit a report to take it down, or did the Maps team themselves decide it wasn't legit? Could we even find out?)

I wonder what would happen if I tried to re-submit it.

This time as 'Tourist Attraction'. Maybe that will stick instead of 'Historical Landmark' :)
