This page will bring forth many memories of Trenton's "Golden Years." The ads above listing restaurants, night clubs, and other public "leisure time" venues are quite familiar to me and others in the over 70 age group. Trenton was a lively town back in the day.
Note the ad for Leon Shockley's Delaware Inn which has been saved from the wrecker's ball. It is the goal of preservation experts in Trenton to restore that incredibly beautiful old building and convert it into a riverfront museum. I am currently building a folder relating to the Delaware Inn, digitizing old newspaper columns relating to that historic riverfront treasure.

Tom Glover said... - I love those old ads too, Joe. I also like the old theater ads. I will continue to post these in other years. Tom

- Trenton was quite the place with a variety of spots to dine and kick back. My parents used to meet friends at Bartolini's (sp?) in the "Burg'' I think. It had tomatoe pies to go along with the beer.
