Harry Podmore is one of my very favorite writers of our local history. The Local History Collection has preserved many of his columns, and a project is in progress to index each column. The column presented here deals with the area of north Trenton near Montgomery Street which was once the site of "the Swamp." It was here that the derelicts of the city lived in their cardboard hovels and according to many articles in the local press, the area was a very undesireable neighborhood.
