As this website approaches 8,000 pages, I have found, through data supplied to me as the"webmaster," that there are basically two distinct areas of interest of the visitors who add daily to the "hits.". One lies in one of my favorite subjects, trivial nostalgic posts, and the other is another of my favorite subjects, what I choose to call "Hard Core History." Both of these subjects are coexisting quite well as the site approaches 700,000 "hits." The above is for those of us who literally treasure any and all information relating to the incredibly interesting history of Trenton. The above is a very rare set of digitized pages from noted Trenton historian Francis Bazley Lee's "HISTORY OF TRENTON, NEW JERSEY, the record of its early settlement and corporate progress." The volume was compiled for the STATE GAZETTE and printed in 1895 at the State Gazette print shop.
HI TOM....I ALWAYS FELT THE DEVELOPERS OF A N AREA HAD A LOT TO DO WITH STREET NAMES. MY GOOD FRIEND, BILL PINTINELLI, DEVELOPED MUCH OF MERCERVILLE AND NAMED THE STREETS AFTER PEOPLE HE KNEW, LIKE PINTINELLI DR. AND MANY OTHERS. OF COURSE, IT MAY HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT WITH TRENTON. BEST REGARDS.
