1923: RIVER ROAD, WEST TRENTON

I will need a visitor more familiar with the West Trenton area (once known as "Trenton Junction" to pinpoint this spot on the "Trenton Junction Road." It seems to bring back an earlier post where there was an Esso Station at the entrance to the Washington Crossing Bridge. I need help here.

This delightful map shows the Pennington-Hopewell- W. Trenton area of John L. Kuser's beautiful estate at the foot of Bald Pate Mountain. Thanks to old time family friend "Beb" Bill Peters for the map.
I HAVE DIGITIZED THIS MAP AT A HIGH (300) DPI SO YOU CAN WANDER
DOWN THOSE BEAUTIFUL OLD COUNTRY ROADS AND VISIT THE BUCOLIC VILLAGES ALONG THE WAY.

1910 (CA 1910) THE READING STATION AT WEST TRENTON

Why did we not preserve all these lovely, old, and beautiful area structures? The charming Tudor styling on the old Reading Train station is from an old post card which I estimate is from the 1910-1912 era. What a splendid graphic!

1917: NORTH TRENTON (AND WEST) COMMUNITY NEWS

There was a pervert prowling around the western section of the city, randomly throwing his arms around unsuspecting ladies. As related in the above article, he has the neighborhood up in arms in their search for him. Even then, we had that certain element in our society. The only difference between then and now is in the way our judicial system taps the wrist area of offenders be they "huggers," muggers, or other anti social individuals.
