One of many curiosities at this well-known road-side attraction called Del Buono's bakery. The black horse represents this very old road called the Black Horse Pike. An elevated white horse can be found close by on the White Horse Pike.

This elevated horse can be found on the NW property boundary or, the intersection of the busy Black Horse Pike & Brynmawr Avenue. Parking can be had on Brynmawr Avenue. It is about 22 feet high and faces perpendicular to the highway.

The entire property represents one of those attractions that will make you drive off the side of the road if you are not careful. There are lots of fiberglass animals and creatures here to see, all over the building and grounds, so it is better to just pull over and park.

Although the business is located along the very busy Black Horse Pike, you would do well to turn down the side street which defines the front property line of the business. It is called Brynmawr Avenue and is the safest way to enter the parking lot and to view the horse (unless of course you want to do a 55 mph drive-by). The horse is easily seen from any point on this busy intersection and is a well known landmark, a local benchmark of sort.

Horses Name: Unknown

Background Story:
No real story here. Del Buenos got into the habit of putting curiosities out front of their bakery, in part to attract business, and, as I suspect to satisfy an obsessive compulsivity to collect "neat-looking" objects.
