This was a beautiful residential street, with an island down the center, with old style street lamps. There were lots of older folks, on our block, some were widows, but really nice to a young couple, just starting out. I rented garages, in the alley, to house my old cars. Frank Borgia, the Italian Language teacher at Trenton High, was our landlord, and I remember some very interesting conversations, with him on weekends, usually in the warmer weather. I believe the island is gone now. There were some exciting evenings when a driver, who may have had one too many, sailed around the corner, off of Hamilton Ave, and either jumped the island, or hit the first lamp post. Great neighborhood, until the riots changed everything in the late sixties, and we left for Hamilton Square. rayfromvillaparkrayfromvillaparknoreply@blogger.com
