all. I recently left he Del Val to come back home to MD. When I was up there, I lived in Levittown, close to the Burlington-Bristol Bridge. As you get onto the bridge on the Pennsy side, there is what looks like the remains of a town. Google and yahoo both have it as Maple Beach.

Here is the link

My question is...what happened to the town?

 

From the looks of that map it never got developed. Flood plane?

 

I can buy that. But what makes me think otherwise is the tree lined roads...usually the last thing to go in is landscaping. Thanks for the reply.

 

Interesting. I have lived not too far from that area for 18 years and never heard about it. Must have been quite a while ago

 

It's a secret government test facility housing an exactly replica of the Nurburgring racetrack. I suggest we assemble the DelVal crew and investigate.

 

if that were only true

 

People still fish off the banks of the River, but I do not think I would eat anything anywhere near Rhom and Haas.

 

We should all take a trip.

Maple Beach S2k meet anyone? haha

 

Land for sale perhaps? If you look close there is one house in the north west corder, as well as a few in the south east (closest to water). Also is it just me or are those 2 tennis courts on the west side of the area...

Edit: As far as the trees, notice the surrounding forest area, most likely they were just selected trees that weren't cut down, not planted. However the tennis courts are very mysterious...

Re-Edit: Just looked it up on google maps, certainly is tennis courts, you can get a lot closer with this link.

looks quite interesting, i say we investigate.
