Radburn

A small incorporated "town for the motor age" located in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. As a community within a community, it was a planned town designed so one could walk anywhere. Its residents pride themselves on their fancy pool, multiple parks, overpriced houses and secretive Association. The elementary school has been remodeled in recent years, displacing the once popular stickball and basketball courts. Radburn school kids are often taught about the sister town in Japan during assemblies in the cafegymatorium-which had ceilings too low for basketball. The "radburn bump" is a small hill on Howard Ave, known for young drivers "bottoming out" as they pass over at excessive speed. The "town" of Radburn refers to the intersection of Fair Lawn Ave. and Plaza Road, once populated by local businesses, but has since been taken over by chains such as Panera and Subway. Unfortunately Biaggio's, the worst pizza in Fair Lawn, still remains. Radburn bagels are often towted as the best in all of Fair Lawn. The Baskin-Robbins store, which has since closed, was once known as a nexis for a burgeoning drug trade. Local hangouts include the back of CVS, known as Club C. Many residents also commute by the local train station into NYC. A predominantly white suburb, an increasing Russian immigrant population has called Radburn home in recent years.

Remember Mr. Freebody?

Raeburn

A genetic half-breed, part baby rainbow, part hippopotamus tail, part waffle, which speaks the language of love, defines its own science and rambles with a sense of adventure that could make the wind jealous. When a Raeburn speaks, lighting pauses to listen. A Raeburn can inspire a sense of purpose in a stone and is envied by the sun for its shimmer. A Raeburn can fly and is alive to show others that they can too.

It was raining and my socks got wet and I cried until a Raeburn arrived and suddenly the sun began to giggle and the sky kissed the ground and said "there's no difference between us."

Raburn Cycle

(n) A feat in baseball rarely achieved in which a batter strikes out, flies out, grounds out and is credited with an error in the field in the same game.

The day after Albert Pujols recorded his first Raburn Cycle, the St. Louis Cardinals 1st baseman announced his retirement from the game and promptly burned all of his bats and gloves.
