Only we old residents will remember when one could get on Greenwood Avenue heading to Trenton and stay on the road where it terminated at South Broad Street. Here's a rare photo of that area as it looked in 1939. I don't see the Scudder Foundry building in the photo, but I would bet that a visitor familiar with the area will point if out.

1939: GREENWOOD AVENUE THROUGH TO SOUTH BROAD STREET

Tom,
ReplyDeleteBorn and raised in this area. Born on Mercer in early 40s, moved to Jackson in 1951. I got hit and dragged by an automobile on the very spot where the car in the photograph is seen going away from us. Boy, do I remember!
