Pictured is the router which sent the 1st internet connection from NYC to Tokyo. These were sold out of a basement office of a home in Rahway NJ. It's signed by everyone who worked for Cisco Systems in 1989. It was given to my dad when he retired in 1999 for his work in establishing the internet.Submitted by TriggerTough t3_10kdpgl in newjersey

I used to deliver the Elizabeth Daily Journal to that block in the 1980s (yes I am OLD!!).

Very cool.
My dad made me deliver papers as well on my BMX bike. Wanted to teach me "work ethic."
I hope all is well and thank you for the paper delivery back then!
