1946: WEST STATE STREET IN FRONT OF WEINMANN'S RESTAURANT

Who among my more "senior" visitors can ever forget Weinmann's Restaurant on West State Street? It was an upscale restaurant back in the 1930's and 40's. Further, who can remember that legendary statuette of the jockey standing at the entrance? Almost as legendary as the old "Toddle House" just up the street a ways!

1946: STATE AND BROAD STREET; A CLOSE UP LOOK

Note that this photo replaces the originaly June 30 post wherein I inadvertently identified it as "State and Broad St." Thanks to my regular visitors, Mike Kuzma and Gino Formaroli, for detecting my ever increasing episodes of age-related senility!.

This blog has been very well received and on behalf of the Hamilton Township Public Library Local history Collection, I am very grateful for the nine hundred thousand plus visitors who come here to view over 8500 pages (posts!) I have also decided to post on only one Facebook page, and that would be my page that has nearly 1,200 friends.

UNDATED STATE AND BROAD STREET

Here's an un-dated circa 1939 photo of center city Trenton showing traffic moving west on E. State Street at Broad Street. The clarity of this photo has been tweaked and enhanced and gives a beautiful view of the downtown Trenton main thoroughfare as it looked in the late 1930's
