[conspire] Meanwhile, in Menlo Park...

[Rick Moen]

The original redwood arch entrance to Menlo Park, California erected by 
a pair of Irish immigrants as the entrance to their 1,700 acre farm
stood from 1855 until it was accidentally destroyed by an automobile in
1922.  But this famous landmark, whose inscription 'Menlo Park' 
for their native village near Galway gave the California town its name,
has just been reconstructed from scratch.

Thomas Edison's Menlo Park in northern New Jersey was named for the
California town, which was incorporated in 1874, long before Edison
founded his famous lab.
