1950: BEFORE THERE WAS A K-MART THERE WAS AN S.S. KRESGE "FIVE AND DIME"
What a great photo of Kresge's "five and ten" on East State Street. Many of our more veteran Trenton area citizens will remember when Trenton was a brisk, lively, and clean center city capital. The whte "CO." seen in the far left of the photo is part of the W.T. Grant department store. Woolworth's was also in that row, as well as F.W. Grand.
Tommy As soon as you entered the store you could smell the hot dogs behind the lunch counter. Who could resist them. Loved to go shopping down town especially around Christmas time. Everybody seemed to be in a good mood around the holidays.. Lee
Yes you could enter from S Broad and exit on E State Street. The thing I remember mosly is the Hot Dog Stand with the Root Beer at the S. Broad St. Exit or entrance.
