1949: E. STATE STREET AT THE U.S. POST OFFICE

Thanks to PhotoShop software with its ability to enhance and tweak photos, this incredible photo gives a special clarity to that Trenton Transit bus which is headed for Colonial Lakelands on the Brunswick Pike. The Moose Hall is the brick building on the extreme right, and of course the DeLuxe Diner where daily visitor and former mail man Ralph Lucarella had many cups of coffee before going on his daily rounds.

OH BOY DOES THAT BRING BACK MEMORIES. 14 YEARS OF THAT DINNER AND CROSSING THE STREET TO THE MAIN POST OFFICE. MY BROTHER LOU AND I WERE LETTER CARRIERS AND LEFT IN 1954 TO BUILD THE HAMILTON BOWLING LANES ON ROUTE 33 WITH THE HELP OF MANY OTHERS. REGARDS.

I MIGHT ADD, THE MOOSE HOME I'M TOLD, WAS WHERE THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL GAME WAS PLAYED. CENTER JUMP AFTER EACH BASKET, TWO HAND DRIUBBLE AND THEY PLAYED IN A CAGE, NO OUT OF BOUNDS. HOW ABOUT THAT FOR A TRENTON HIGH LIGHT. BEST REGARDS.
