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.

Gone...all gone. Manufacturing provided jobs for so many people.

Sad because the country was not only better but we didn’t realize the after effect without them
