Well Well Well

Used to watch the parade from my great grandmother's house. Santa Claus would climb a ladder into the LIT'S DEPT. store.

And now it's a shithole. Lived here my whole life and it seems to be getting worse.

Awesomeness

Born and raised in Trenton! It WAS a great place to live. Worked for the State for 30 yrs.

Trenton Takes, What the Worlld Doesn't Want.

Most companies are gone

And if only he knew what trenton would turned into under the democrats he would be appalled. in fact, everything that the democrats touch they destroy!

Handed over this once jewel of a city to Mexico and central America. 3rd world now.

Where, who and what, did it all went Wrong? The factories and industry left, that started the downward spiral.

I was born in Trenton at Helene-Fuld in ‘79. My entire family worked at GM in Ewing. It was a great childhood. I earned my pilot’s license at Trenton-Mercer Co. Airport in the 90s. My grandfather used to tell me that in Trenton you could lose one job in the morning and have another one by the afternoon. But even as a young kid in the 80s we knew that Perry St. was where all the junkies hung out. This great video must’ve been at the climax of Trenton’s glory days. I left New Jersey in 2010. I’m glad I did.

1968, less than a year before Trenton died at the hands of a mob.

This didn’t age well 😢

My Grandfather, Thaddeus P. Burns, was City Clerk for Trenton..

Now Trenton is Police, liquor stores, churches and Bodegas. Oh and everyone’s “rich”.

Had to move out of there in 99, it was getting too wild

SOMEBODY LOSS THE VISION!!

WHAT A FANTASTIC WAY OF LIFE!! ??

TRANE!!!! TRANE!!

Now it is a toilet

"And now we can see the open Drug Markets Downtown. Hey! There's a Crackwhore there Hello. How much?

Little did they know that a crashing downfall was just around the corner.

Before the major demographic change......great city ruined

Basically Trenton History Great Economic industrial City - White people middle class and like most cities Chicago,Detroit, and many more when color people came in White people left and same with manufacturing companies so No more jobs = Poor whites/Color people and higher crime rates AKA The “Hoods”

Our neighbor worked at De Laval when i was growing up in 70's. Can't imagine that's still there.

HECHOENCHINA

And now look at it. I live here and it suuuuuuuuucks

Shout out to GRECO!

Substitute "was" for "is"

Trenton used to be so nice.

All this is now black. And you already know what it looks like.

The Town

This film was on the threshold of Trenton's massive decline.

Thank you so much for digitizing and preserving this! This is a real gem, and quite rare!

Context: Oct. 28 was when the stock market crashed. By Nov. 11, the stock market had fallen 40 percent.

Mayor Holland
