Centre Street in the 1950s, South Trenton.
Centre Street in the 1950s, South Trenton. I love all the cool cars in older pictures of the area:)
Hi Mack: They look like trolley tracks on Centre Steet. and why is'nt it Center, instead of Centre. Speaking of trolley tracks, do you know that the DeAngelos built the Del Rio Restaurant on Hamilton Ave. from the blocks removed from the streets when the trolley tracks were removed. That information came right from Charley DeAngelo, who was a very good friend of ours. Regards.
Hi Ralph. I think the reason it is Centre and not Center Street is it is so old that the common British spelling Centre was still used widely in the United States at the time.
