Mercer County Community College, West Windsor
Located on 1200 Edinburg Road about 3 minutes
from 5 Points Mercerville. Many Burg kids in
my day attended this fine school. This is my
Alma Mater as well... go Vikings !!:)

Fun was trying to get around "The Old Campus". Of course that was because there was no campus at all. Classes were held in any nook or cranny they could rent around downtown Trenton. You had to be careful planning your schedule because to get from Capitol Alley across from the State House down to the SunRay Drug building on Front and Broad took some doing.
I think that the actual origins of the College were in the Trenton Industrial Arts School on Capitol Alley. That was a post high school program that taught metals and drafting if my memory is correct. The original Rider Business School was catty corner to the YMCA.
I had some good times out in Windsor but there was something kind of neat in that early jumble of madness downtown.

HI MAC AND ANONYMOUS. I DELIVERED MAIL TO THE OLD COLLEGE WHEN THEY WERE AT THE CORNER OF W.STATE AND WILLOW IN THE EARLY 50'S. I ALSO LIVED ON EDINBURG ROAD DURING THAT TIME WHEN THERE WERE ONLY EMPTY FIELDS. SO THERE HAS BEEN MANY CHANGES IN BOTH LOCATIONS SINCE THEN. I HOPE TO VISIT SOON AND SEE THE AREA. BEST REGARDS.
Ralph, straighten me out here. Was the old Trenton Junior College building the Kelsey Building and the Industrial Arts building the one on Capitol Alley?
Thanks .. Skip
...I BELIEVE THEY ALL WERE IN THE SAME BUILDING AT THE CORNER OF W. STATE AND WILLOW WHEN I WAS DELIVERING MAIL IN THAT SECTION DURING THE EARLY 1950'S.
