Patti Scialfa: Red-Headed Woman
Ian Birch, Q, August 1993
ABOUT AN HOUR and a half from New York going south down the New Jersey Turnpike and then east on the Garden State Parkway is the "quaint" Victorian town of Red Bank. A centre for boating and horseracing, Manhattanites also like to spend the weekend "antiquing" on West Front Street, one of the community's main arteries.
