That's the way I want to remember downtown Trenton when times were good and the streets safe. Thanks for the picture.

This picture brings back so many memories. Buying records and a vanilla coke at Kresgies...my mom working at Arnold Constables and then Voorhees...waiting for the bus at State and Broad, freezing my butt off...ringing the bell for the Salvation Army in front of Voorhees...Tuesday night when all the stores were open late and were decorated so beautifully for Christmas...bumper to bumper traffic...texas weiners after a movie at the Lincoln or the Trent...buying records from Ace...dinner at the Famous...buses so full of people that you had to wait for another one...the Camelia, Lido Gardens the Beverly and hoity-toity lunches with my aunt Marilyn Kondor at the Stacy Trent Hotel. Great memories of a once great city, lost in the fog of what used to be. Thanks Mack.
