Sayreville, NJ-
home of Jon Bon Jovi and Greg Evigan if thats worth anything.
The town was built on/around the Sayre Fisher Brick Company- the supplier of bricks for many of the buildings in NYC including the Empire State Building. The entire town is covered with bricks and old clay pits. Toxic waste dumps are also pretty common.
The world's oldest amber deposits are here and fossils of the rarest Cretaceous age insects, birds and reptiles have been found in recent years. Amber used to be common (if you knew how to look for it). This is the stuff that Michael Crichton based Jurassic Park upon. The same pits also hold the oldest marine fossils of the Mesozoic on the East Coast.
I rarely go back to the old town these days because it has been largely ghetto-fied and I dont recognize the place anymore.
