The Hudson Beer Garden before the Chiacchios
The Hudson Beer Garden before the Chiacchios
From a Trenton Times Bill Dwyer Column 3-12-2000..
LOOKING BACK with Mrs. Santina P. Pellitteri of Hamilton: ''You
might be interested in knowing that THE HUDSON BEER GARDEN was
originally a saloon operated by my grandfather Peter Eleuteri.
I was born at that location, Hudson and Mott sts., on November
the 3rd, 1922. Though I now live in Hamilton, my roots are in
Trenton. ''My father was a chauffeur for the Kuser family so
in my younger years we lived in an apartment over the garages
at the beautiful mansion on West State St. My father later
became a mechanic working on the trucks at the brewery on
Lamberton St. I think the beer was called Trenton Old Stock.
''We were then living on Chambers St., and my sister, brother
and I went to the Hewitt School, a mere two blocks away. We
always walked home for lunch. One day Dad came home to lunch
with one of the Kuser cars, an electric car! All the children
stared at this strange-looking, silent car when Dad drove us
back to school.
