My first job, the year 1960. Worked for a farmer from Columbus, NJ. Remember those days selling tomatoes, corn and fresh vegetables all for $0.50 an hour, but it was fun, met a lot of nice people there.
Remember the Dales Supermarket
on the Brunswick Circle?
I am told that area is where the
Trenton Giants with Willie Mays
played.
Mack, sure do remember Dales, my parents and I lived on Brunswick Ave. near Spruce St. We use to play baseball before they built Dales there. I can't remember what the building was originally, but there was a large grass field that was perfect for baseball. My father remembers seeing Willie Mays play there in 1950 for the Trenton Giants.
And Giant Tiger out that way, too...
Hi Mack, Barb the appraiser here, just got an email from Dave and he told me to chime in. Burg born and bred, grew up 1072 So Broad,went to Immaculate Conception and graduated from Trenton High, class of '66. You must all be too young to remember the original Farmers Market on the point (John Fitch Way and S Warren St)in S Trenton. Who is old enough to remember?
Hey Barb P.....paulie here, THS '61..walked across John Fitch Way many times to get something to eat or drink while fishing with my dad on the Delaware by American Bridge.
Also, I had friends that lived in the "project housing" next to the market.
Hey Paulie,
When the herring ran, everybody went to the little hot dog stand at the Farmers Market. I remember the lady who ran it only had 1 leg or 1 eye, don't remember which. Anyway she use to scare me!

Mike,
Happy New Year to you and yours. 1072 was where I lived, used to be Jacob Krohn's, Yellen's Pharmacy, Community Paint Store, Muller and Offner Shoe Store. Next door was Lenny Frost's Bar and later 2nd Precinct Bar. Helen's Lunchonette was on the corner.
Barb...the woman at the hot dog stand had 1 leg. Also, there was a slaughter house on Blumsberg(?) St
and Levines Working Man's store also in the area....
Paul,
Mazaros Meat Market on Broad next to where Marazzos was had a slaughterhouse in the alley behind the store. Never saw a name on that alley. I remember the alley behind Sanders and the Broad Theater was Freundenmacher Alley. My dentist Dr. Lavine, was right at the alley and Beatty. He later moved to S Clinton across from Palmer-Trout, next to Gaug's Meat Market. Hows that for pulling it out of the old grey matter?
think harder...what was the name, or kind of store, that was on the corner of the alley right after the dentist's office?
