A quick Google search shows it's Westfield, which is a pretty nice town IIRC.

Sorry, I misread that as the Witcher. My bad.

I remember that story from a few years back. I remember there was a neighbor who had mental problems and a voyeuristic streak or the owners paid too much and only bought it because they wanted to raze the house and subdivide the lot but were denied. So there doesn't seem much mystery about who did it.

I didn't watch the show though but I did hear it was good.

East Broad Street, Westfield, New Jersey - I lived in Westfield for ten years and sat in traffic in that downtown many times.

I didn’t guess it, but as soon as I read E Broad St, I remembered how much I used to love going to the Rialto theater in that neighborhood. Thanks for reminding me!

Looks to be taken around 1990. That's the intersection of elm street (trader Joes, Addams family house)

Arcanum Hall (corner of E Broad/Elm) is another give away. The person who took this photograph was standing near the corner of E Broad and Central where an Athleta is now. Back in those days, there was a police officer who would man “the dot” and direct traffic… all day

Damn, Reddit is wild. That’s down the street from my house. But about… 30 years ago from the looks of those cars. Elm and East Broad St, Westfield NJ.

It’s currently a mix of chain stores and mom-and-pop businesses. There’s an Urban Outfitters is on the corner (out of frame) and a shoe store on the corner with the turret / pulpit looking thing above.
