SPIKE WAS ALSO THE SPONSOR OF THE TRENTON CADETS IN THE CENTRAL JERSEY LEAGUE DURING THE 1930'S PLAYING THEIR HOME GAMES AT WETZEL FIELD. HIS BAR ACROSS FROM THE BROAD THEATRE ALSO WAS VERY POPULAR.

Hey Mack, would you or any guests remember the name of the frozen custard stand to the right of the golf course.
Best regards

Hi Vince. I remember that building that looked like a little ice mountain . I think it was called Gravetts (?) when it was an ice cream place. Later it was a meat place with the name Angus in its title as I recall from the days after independence mall was built :)
