1949: LOOKS LIKE TODAY'S ROUTE 1 NORTH!

Here's a segmented/enlarged photo of South Broad Street with cars heading out of town on South Broad and Front Street. Check out the guy moving boxes on the truck.

And sadly, as the town changed in the early 1970's that Sun Ray Pharmacy would become the classrooms for Sociology, Philosophy and Psychology in the newly forming Mercer County Community College. They had courses in the old Industrial Arts School by the State House Annex, The Kelsey Building and even many offices in the Hotel Hildebrecht. Who need a gym with the kid running all over town?

What a prosperous time for Trenton. In looking at all these photos it appears that the signpainters were very busy during that era -signs everywhere!
