That department sore of the corner was Wineberg's. Leigh Frizzell across the street was a wonderful men's shop, and Mr. Frizzell was a true gentleman. Bought my father many a Swank cufflink set for Christmas with saved-up snow-shoveling money.
I haven't visited your website in a long time. I hope you are well. I know the corner well, I think it was Sander's ice cream parlor across from Wineberg's. I worked at the RKO Broad theatre in the mid 1950's, so it might have changed since 1929. I'm surprised to see gas pumps right on the street! My parents were married in 1928 and lived on Orange Street, then moved to Adeline Street in 1944. I loved hearing stories from them about that era. Trenton was a fascinating place then.

Jersey Girl, I was one of the kids on the other side of the candy counter, buying Good n Plenty (a.) because I loved the candy, and (b.) because you could blow into the box and make it squeal. You also saw us when we ran from the theater seating up and into the lobby to escape either the really scary or "mushy" parts of Saturday movies. Working on the other side of the counter, you were a goddess to us all.
