1946: The 1200 BLOCK OF E. STATE STREET

How this neighborhood has changed over the last 50 or 60 years! I opted for the largest enlarged view I could manage on this blog, and this is the result. It took a bit of PhotoShop "tweaking" to balance the brightness/contrast/gamma etc. settings.

  1. This is the corner of S. Logan St. What has survived in Trenton more than anything else? Establishments with liquor licenses.
    Other bits of Trenton infrastructure remain: man hole covers, storm drain openings and telephone poles. This wasn't a bad part of town back in the year I was born - few of them were, I guess. How the human element has changed the city.

  2. Right you are, Bill. The bar on the corner became Frank and Vi's tavern; a favorite watering hole for workers at the Acme Rubber Plant.
