This beautiful photo came from a 1916 edition of Fitzgerald's trenton City Directory." Exquisite photo! I received this note from Sally Gilman this morning. Sally was a native of the Edgewood Avenue area and has bittersweet and nostalgic memories of growing up in the area where the Strand stood proud and tall. Thanks for the interesting look back, Sally.

Hi Tom: What a great photo of the Strand Theatre. When I was a kid I would walk to the Strand from Carteret Avenue and spend a wonderful Saturday or Sunday afternoon. I would get my little box of Black Crows and sit in the center and watch the movies. Then I would go across Edgewood and get a quart of hand-packed ice cream from The Artic and rush back home. My family, including my grandmother, would have it for dessert that night. I loved that picture and often tell my family how lucky I was to have such a wonderful movie theater within walking distance. It was safe and my parents never gave it a second thought when I took off on my own. What wonderful days. Thanks, Tom, for the memories. Sally Logan Gilman
