1946: STATE AND BROAD CLOSEUP

This graphic took quite some time to go through the Photoshop process of tweaking contrast/brightness, and zeroing in on the segment shown in the graphic. How I love these views of Trenton with the cars that were in style back when quality was the rule. I often wish I were a billionaire. I would manufacture an exact duplicate of one of those autos in the photo, exact except they would have 21st century electronics and steel bumpers and bodies. Egads, how you do dream, Tom Glover!

HI TOM....ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE AREA I GREW UP ON WHILE I WAS WITH THE POST OFFICE DOWN THE STREET. JOE MILLER AND HIS WIFE MARY IN THE NEWS STAND, MIKE AND JAKE BUDDY AT THEI BAR AND THE TREMONT CAFE ON THE CORNER, ALL ACROSS THE SREET FROM CITY HALL. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY AND YET OVER 60 YEARS AGO. MEMORIES I'LL ALWAYS RECALL. BEST REGARDS

AND I MIGHT ADD, IN THE CITY HALL, WAS MY GOOD FRIEND AND FORMER TEAMMATE, ART (CHIRP) HOLLAND, THE MAYOR OF TRENTON FOR MANY YEARS.
