1949: HERE'S IS AN EXQUISITE CLOSEUP OF 1949 CENTER CITY TRENTON

Photo Shop has little deeply hidden nuances that I have been learning day by day, week by week, and year by year,. Here is an example of an extract from the Duke University Digital Collection that zeroes in on the 3 "five and dimes" that once were anchor stores in downtown Trenton. This was the Trenton of my youth. The Trenton where Mom Glover took me when she went "up town" to pay the Public Service electric bill and do shopping. It was the Trenton where 3 years later, young Tom Glover would pull up to the curb on the left, behind that Trenton Transit bus and wait for his lovely fiance Judy Britton to exit Yard's Department Store at 9:00 O'clock on a Thursday night,. Precious memories. There would also have been officer Chet Hughes directing traffic at that intersection, looking the other way as he recognized my 1941 DeSoto parked along the curb for only a few minutes.
