Very delightful photo from the R.C. Maxwell-Duke University Library showing the marquee of the good old Gaiety Theater on South Olden Avenue. What memories this photo brings! Tuesday summer time matinees with a cartoon carnival for all of us kids. As I recall admission was 11 cents, but that's open for question. Across the street was the Townsend Bakery where we often shopped (along with the Rowley Bakery) down on South Olden and Hobart Avenues. Marucca's had their tomato pie location in the row on the left, and there was a small Acme Supermarket to the right and out of the picture. I have a "long shot" of this are in my "TRENTON VIEWS" folder.
NOTE: DUE TO A GLOVER SENIOR MOMENT, THIS WAS ORIGINALLY LABELED AS NORTH OLDEN AVENUE AND OF COURSE IT WAS SOUTH OLDEN AVENUE, THE DIVISION BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH BEING STATE STREET. THANKS TO MIKE KUZMA AND A FACEBOOK VISITOR WHERE IT HAS ALSO BEEN POSTED, I STAND CORRECTED.
