1913: KING'S DEPARTMENT STORE.

It was a very prominent part of the Trenton cityscape in former years. Along with Hurley Tobin, Swern's, Goldberg's, Kauffman's, and many other large multi-story stores that once proliferated in the city of Trenton. The Trenton of my youth will never return. However, a valiant effort is being made by numerous Trentonians to at least bring back a portion of the city we all knew and loved. Those merchants on South Warren Street have worked very hard to increase downtown traffic. Now, if we could only get just a few of the hundreds of state workers who are working in all those glass encrusted state buildings to take a few steps outdoors during their collective lunch times, and help to make Trenton do the Phoenix rising from the ashes thing.
(As that old song says, "My dreams are gettin' better all the time.!")
