Wish you were here - Vintage Meadowbrook neighborhood post cards

 Jackpot find of Meadowbrook Neighborhood history via postcards found today at some antique / vintage shops.

First, a new to me view of the Johnston Estate pond, looking west (I think?) across the Green Brook which is postmarked Nov 1st, 1906. The penmanship is atrocious, "This is ___ ___ of ____ _____ places. Really is very lovely." Can you help?

Next, an undated view of the Gate House next to Meadowbrook Village Apartments. While not post marked we can guestimate the date is after 1940s... the apartments are quite established, folks moved in 1939, but what is most interesting is the Meadowbrook Neighborhood sign from the opening day is still present from 1936... so maybe the bridge arcoss Green Brook wasn't removed until ???

And last is a winterview, also undated, showing a Birds Eye View from Watchung Mountains... in the foreground I wondered if the sparse buildings were maybe the Netherwood Farm (Mountain Ave and Watchung Square Mall today) or perhaps this view is further West, what do you think?

And one last photo of the Green Brook which separates Union County and Somerset County along Plainfield and North Plainfield. The way the bank appears in this image I think it may be the island just off of Brooke Ave.
