I did not know how to put this in. The computer said " choose a profile". I opened that and no idea what the choices meant, so I am sending you my comments as follows.

My Aunt, Honey Frank, was the bookkeeper, by title, but a multi-tasker who was part of the triumvirate that ran the original GWH. Amazing how George Blacker, Ruth Felton and Honey ran the whole shebang. So many Frank relatives have been residents of GWH over the years. It is a remarkable place to which we are all dedicated.  Warmly, Art Frank

Thanks for posting! This is actually North Broad St. Somewhere up on the right was where my husbands' g-grandfather had his shoe and boot store, 1855-1865. It must have been a vibrant time for the growing city. The market was demolished in 1870, but there were several other street markets in the city. The photo below (1869) is from Harry Podmore's book, "Trenton, Old and New". Published in 1927.

Maureen Wells Maybe it’s time for someone to revive a weekly downtown farmers market for people who live downtown and may not have cars..after all that’s why they had them in the first place..it could start small then ..who knows??


Arthur Finkle You are absolutely correct. In my haste, when I saw market, I wrote market St. The main market was on Green St.

Maureen Wells My grandfather sold at the market that was down by the river decades ago.. he had a farm in Skillman and then in Colts Neck.. not sure which he sold from...both were a long distance!

Hi Art, I saw your 3/9/1951 Sports Nite article. Can you send me a better copy? The verbiage on the right is cut off. I want to do an exhibit on sports nite at the Trenton City Museum. Do you think the public would have a lot of mementoes from sports nite to loan us? Photos, films, uniforms, pins, etc? Thanks Karl Flesch

I read your great article in NJJN written by Michele Alperin that mentions you, and he gave me your email:

I am visiting Trenton this week and I would like to talk to you and ask you some questions.

Hi Art: You have an EXCELLENT SITE!  I see a number of posts are those that I found and digitized for the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection. I would appreciate it if you cited us the source. As you might imagine, it takes quite a bit of time and effort to find and tweak these historic photos and documents. Thanks so much.

I grew up in Yardley PA. I am doing some ancestry research. My great grandfather Stephen F Arata, had a candy store in Trenton NJ in 1908. I am hoping someone may have some very old photos or other information about this candy store. The store was located at17 North Broad Street. I do not know the name of the candy store. Thank you in advance,
