In Franklin Township, an eight-foot statue and memorial to President John F. Kennedy stands in a place that might not seem to be the ideal spot for such a landmark - a strip mall that's home to a Krauszer's market and several restaurants.
The story of how the statue got there is one of one man's determination, the immigrant experience and the rough-and-tumble world of local New Jersey politics.
On the 59th anniversary of JFK's assassination, News 12’s Brian Donohue visits the site to talk with the man behind it and take in the unique view of a strip mall presidential memorial.
