Downtown Trenton's heyday was before my time but it
sure looks cool in the many pictures I see of it:)

IT'S ME AGAIN MAC....I USED TO STAND ON THAT CORNER BY THE BANK IN THE EARLY 30'S AND PEDDLE THE TRENTON TIMES FOR 2 CENTS EACH. WE PAID 1 CENT EACH AND HOPED PEOPLE WOULD GIVE YOU A NICKEL AND SAY KEEP THE CHANGE. THINGS WERE TOUGH IN THOSE DAYS AND NEARBY WAS A PUBLIC REST ROOM TO HELP ON OCCASSIONS. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT ESSEX CAR WITH THE RUNNING BOARDS. THAT WAS A VERY BUSY CORNER WITH THE MAIN POST OFFICE AND BANK. THE LETTER CARRIERS AND TRAFFIC COPS IN THOSE DAYS HAD TO PUT UP WITH A LOT OF BAD WEATHER. OH WELL, I'M LUCKY TO BE ON A POST OFFICE PENSION IN THESE DAYS OF BAD DEPRESSION. REGARDS AND BEST WISHES.
Hi Ralph:)
I love this comment and glad the picture brought back memories. Good ole downtown Trenton back in the day:)))
YOU KNOW, MAC....THE CARS IN THE EARLY 30'S MUST NOT HAVE HAD TRUNKS. I SEE THE SPARE TIRES ATTACHED TO THE BACK. DOWNTOWN TRENTON WAS REALLY A TRIP FOR WE KIDS IN THE BURG AND I LOVED THE 5 AND 10 CENT STORES BUT COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHY THEY CALLED THEM FIVE AND DIMES. MAYBE CAUSE THE HOT DOGS WERE A DIME AND THE ROOT BEER WERE A NICKEL.
