I ran down the block to this place hundreds of times. As you entered the front door you first viewed through the penny candy counter glass. Trentonians and Trenton Times papers were on top of the glass.
The next station had Breyer's hand dipped and bulk packed ice cream was sold over a stainless steel counter. 5 cents for a single dip. 10 cents for a double dip. Throw in another penny and get a hard cone.
The back wall was covered with comic books, from Archie through And there was a big old floor refrigerator that sold Kerns sodas, Cokes and maybe even milk.
Paradise!
I grew up around the corner on Genesee St... loved to get the ice cream at 10 cents a scoop, used to take a bowl and get a dollars worth, of course at time John would have an attitude.. LOL
