1905: OLDENHURST REAL ESTATE
Oldenhurst encompasses that part of Hamilton Liberty and South Olden Avenue. There is a bit of personal confusion on my part as to the actual area of the development included as far as today's street names. It is assumed that Partridge and Beal Street was part of the original Oldenhurst. I have been researching that area for a long time, and I know that there was an Ehret Farm in that immediate area between Liberty Street, but research information is very limited. More on the Oldenhurst area as additional information comes to light.

2012: SPAM USED TO BE AN ARMY STAPLE
As this site has moved into the high hits category with over 550,000 visits, the spam community come into the picture. To my fellow Blogspot users with their own website, I suggest you click on your "COMMENTS" screen and count the SPAM that Google succeeds in intercepting. At one point, there were 23 listed, all of whom suggest you visit their website. Everything from tupperware to enlarging physical parts of the body. BEWARE! These dregs of society are all over the globe.

1946: Eddie Moylan
The post on Ann Devlin (Below) brought to mind Marty Devlin, another local tennis legend who also was among Trenton's best when it came to tennis. Marty and Eddie were contemporaries on the local tennis scene. As to Eddie Moylan, my best friend Don Slabicki and I met back in the 1940's when we worked for Fritz and Edna Kuser. Eddie was a regular player on the Kuser Farm tennis court and even though a locally famous name, abided by that 3 word aspiration which was drummed into my head by Louise Baird, my high school music teacher: "GREATNESS IS HUMBLE." Eddie was the consummate tennis player with a winning personality. He ultimately moved to take the position of Tennis Pro at Cornell. He also had the girls' hearts a-flutter whenever he appeared on the court. He was a very handsome young man. He and Fritz "Mr. Trenton Tennis" Kuser made a unbeatable doubles team.

2012: IT'S NOT THE TRENTON I KNEW!
-
I've been wondering,What was life in trenton before the 90's? My family is from trenton, lived all over from north trenton, da burg, to South trenton right at franklin park on woodland. And even after I heard certain parts of trenton(excluding downtown and north) were still a nice place to live after the riots until the around mid 90's.r I guess im just asking what was life like, how did the enrgy of the city feel? Now you go into trenton and you feel like you have to be aware of everything around you because you don't know what can happen. Parts of if not all of the burg is not nice and it's now flowing down into the franklin park area. But in the 70's and before what was trenton like Is trenton really as bad as it seems. It's horrible because I hear great things about trentons past. I drive through and I can see and imagine how awesome trenton was just not too long ago. I wish trenton could back to the way it was in the 50s,60s, and 70's. I would certainly live there, it sounded liek the place to be, a nice place to raise the family. It would be apprecitaed if somebody could respond to my questions. Also, has anyone stayed in the city, whats it liek to live there now?! Is there constant gun fire, muggings, and robberies? Or does this stay in certain parts of the city. What's the franklin park area like currently?!

When you were in the Army, you must have been overseas, at least once, and thus heard things like this, like I heard in Korea and Japan: "feex it fur nannty nnaa dolla and nanny nan cents". Still laughing. I admired them for learning English, and wished I had learned more of their language, then just the phrases that most GIs pick up.
