Im local to the area and my understanding was that GW set up an ambush of sorts on the south bank of the Assunpink Creek directly in line with the bridge. The south side is noticeably higher and the three British charges were funneled onto the bridge to place their forces in the crosshairs of their artillery. the cannons and soldier s were also shooting down hill a bit and the density of British soldiers on the bridge allowed a high % of successful fire. Washing wasn't forced to go there but rather stategically set the bridge up and also sent a few garrisons north toward Princeton during the day to slow down Cornwallis as he approached, just enough to let him arrive near dusk to try a late afternoon attack. Washington then set up camp and instructed several hundred soldiers to remain behind, digging in and cooking ,etc to give the appearance of an overnight stay. once it was late enough those troops silently left to the right flank and also headed up toward Princeton...

Very cool history

th-cam.com/video/2Y8ga2YcskY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FJ9ImBNN1SqMlK9D You might be interested in one of my old family videos from the 1940s and 50s. The first half is in Trenton NJ mostly on Greenwood Avenue.

I remember shopping at Yards with my mom in the 60s. And the movie theaters were so beautiful!

Yep been there 1960 to 1963

They ruin everything they touch.

There's a shooting on every corner now.

Ok y’all showed us all these old footage of Trenton,NJ for what 🤔🤔🤔

I do believe the Montgomery Ward was one store that was still there for a short while when I was young. I missed all these stores when they were gone.

There was the Two Guys store as well.

Me and my parents used to go to the Sears located in Downtown Trenton. I believe it was there for a short while when I was young.

I remember Korvettes Store too.

Dunhams was one more of my favorite historic places to shop with Mom and Dad.

One of my summer programs was at the YWCA in Downtown Trenton where I had swimming class, music, gymnastics when I was young. I drove by there to see if it was still in use, but it is not. There used to be a small diner located at the corner across the street from where the YWCA on East State Street is located if I am correct about the spot. I used to eat breakfast there with my Mom and Dad on weekends when we would go shopping in Downtown Trenton and I loved the food there. I think that place has been torn down .

Downtown was a place I enjoyed shopping with my Mom and Dad when I was young. Those days have long been gone.

My how things have changed a lot. I remember the old days of Downtown Trenton & Trenton in general. I remember Kresges, The 5 & dime store, Two Guys, Woolworths, Atlantic Mills, Murphy Store, Home Furniture. the Mayfair Theatre , where I went with my sister and husband,and the Lincoln Movie Theatre building, which was still standing when I was young.

Wow! What happened? People always tell me that Trenton used to be a nice city, but I never could believe that until seeing this video.

Now on Saturday morning It's just stinky bums smokin weed , drinking , beggin and screaming and yelling

What you are showing are good times gone horribly wrong once infiltration moved in that was it game over what a shame

They can make it how it was but it going cost lot of money .

My dad used to work for National Sponge Cushion Co. - it was a carpet padding manufacturer - I was looking to see if it was in any pictures. Does anyone remember it? I used to go with him to work sometimes. I wish I knew exact address and what happened to it.

Awesome video

Once Carmen Armenti was gone so was Trenton. Holland, Palmer, and Mack hurt this once great town. Trenton had its share of different type of government. Get George Muschell in as Mayor and watch things turn around. Trenton, Camden, Chicago all have that "different type of government." Oh by the way the USA has that "different type of government as well." Look at the sad state of affairs we are in at this point in time.

im from trenton

This is awesome cuz my last name is cadwalader
