Also, if you look closely to the right, you can see a car that appears to be perpendicular to the street, but in the middle of the street. You could park in the middle of the street, all the way to the public bathrooms, which were on Montgomery St just before you reached East State St. When they demolished the buildings on the near right, this area became the parking lot behind the Arnold Constable department store.

Out of site and across from Kall's was Ribsam's garden Shop where the employees knew somthing about the plants, and trees and scrubs they sold. Unlike today's Lowe's, and Home Depot where they only know how to operate a cash register.<br />At the left hand side of this intersection was a quaint little church that has ultimately become the "Playhouse" where amature thespians ply the boards.<br />Now across from the gas station sits the relocated Mahlon Stacy house which formerly sat across from Uncle Charlie's War Memorial.<br />As Chief Real Estate Officer for the City of Trenton, I was responsible for purchasing all these properties in the name of Urban Renewal. Oh how I wished my mother locked me in the basement, and the abortion of Downtown Trenton never took place.<br /><br />Sadly <br /><br />Mike KuzmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
