Let me see.....downtown Trenton.....State and Broad, .....Nedick's on one corner, Dunham's across the street, Yard's across the street, the"Ballantine Beer and Ale" clock atop the building at State and Broad. The aroma of roasted nuts from the nearby "Nut House," a frosty glass of Pina Colada at that Hawaiian shop..... Patrolman Chet Hughes on duty on a Thursday night when all the stores are "open 'til 9,".... the streets are CROWDED with busy shoppers.......3 or 4 Trenton Transit buses pull to the curb and another 60 or 70 people step to the curb to join the already crowded downtown Trenton. ......Binders, Sun-Ray, Photo Art, Hamilton Jewelers, Kasen's Pants, Hurley Tobin, Whitehall, the "Famous" and "Savoy" restaurants, R.A. Donnelly, F.W. Donnelly, Thom McAn, Goldberg's, Nevius Voorhees, and the latest issue of "Look" magazine from the newstand at State and Broad.....ahh, the memories!
