1941: NORTH BROAD AT "FIVE POINTS;" BATTLE MONUMENT AREA

What a gorgeous photo! To the far left is "Levin's" Department Store. Many North Trenton residents will find this to be a very familiar photo. The are has been completely transformed over the years, and this picture is familiar only to those of us who remember the Trenton that was.

Hi Tom, There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that ties down the 1941 date of this photo. The super nice 1941 Oldsmobile 98 sedan, and the 1941 Chevrolet pickup truck. The black and Ivory NJ license plates are from 1941 and the Coca Cola signs on the deli,showing the girl holding the coke up to her mouth, all date from 1941. If you look closely at the window of Vic's bar, there is a three ring Ballantine Beer sign. I can still remember Mel Allen giving his pitch (no pun intended), during Yankee games. rayfromvillapark
