The Mt. Olive Pickle Company was founded in 1926 by a Lebanese immigrant and local shareholders to use up the area's cucumbers, and grew into the best-selling pickle brand on the East Coast, still headquartered at the corner of Cucumber and Vine. On New Year's Eve the town drops a three-foot glowing pickle into a redwood tank at 7 pm, which is midnight Greenwich time, so families can be home by eight.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
