We worked our rear ends off but the fruits of our labor got a great tomatoe pie at Zotto's right around the corner on So. Warren <br />The bowling alley was named after the "shopping Arcade" under the bowling alley. You can see the entrance in this photo.<br /><br />Regards<br />Mike Kuzma<br />Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296888329482355436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-31015102062777005282015-03-29T01:20:52.992-04:002015-03-29T01:20:52.992-04:00Lewis Wickes Hine was a turn-of-the-19th/20th-cent...Lewis Wickes Hine was a turn-of-the-19th/20th-century sociologist and photographer that made his reputation documenting child labor. Two of his famous images were taken at the mentioned Arcade Bowling Alleys in Trenton.<br /><br />http://lewishinephotographs.com/search/luceneapi_node/trenton%2C%20N.J.<br /><br />Before anyone hyperventilates, I worked as a pinboy at Heil's Recreation Center (on Whittaker Street in the Burg) without having working papers. We made dimes per hour of hard work, and we all felt good afterwards. Almost Sixty years later, I'm still working and enjoying it.<br /><br />Personally, I think all kids could benefit from having a menial job, whether it be farm work, helping their fathers with their work. Work made this county great. Not working is a whole lot easier however it may have just may have the opposite effect.SJBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396634140715010591noreply@blogger.com
