2013: FAREWELL TO ANOTHER TRENTON LANDMARK

As this is being written, the legendary once luxurious Glen Cairn Arms apartment buildings are being smashed by the wrecking company's dismantling equipment. How sad that this building was allowed to fall into disrepair! At one time, it was the home of many of the Trenton area's more affluent citizens.

HI TOM...MY ROUTE ENDED AT CALHOUN ST. WHILE I CARRIED THE MAIL ON W, STATE DURING THE EARLY 50'S. THE GLEN CAIRN ARMS WAS AT THE CORNER AND REPRESENTED ONE OF THE MORE ATTRACTIVE RESIDENTS OF THAT PERIOD. I SPOKE WITH THE GOVERNOR EACH DAY AS HE WALLKED TO THE CARTERET CLUB FOR LUNCH. MOST OF THE TIME, SOMEONE WOULD STOP AND GIVE ME A RIDE BACK TO THE POST OFFICE. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.
