I HAVE NUMEROUS ARTICLES DEALING WITH THE OLD MARKETS WHICH ONCE DOTTED THE LANDSCAPE OF DOWNTOWN TRENTON. NORTH BROAD STREET, STOCKTON STREET, WARREN STREET, MARKET STREET.....ALL HAVE FASCINATING STORIES TO TELL. FARMERS WOULD COME FROM NEAR AND FAR IN THEIR FARM WAGONS, BRINGING THEIR VEGETABLES, LIVESTOCK, CHICKENS, GEESE, DUCKS, AND COUNTLESS OTHER FARM COMMODITIES TO THE CITY MARKET. IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL TO SEE A STEER BEING DRIVEN TO THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE, CUT UP AND BROUGHT TO ONE OF THE MANY MARKETS IN TRENTON.
