The Greater Trenton Story

[@WilliamPotts3]

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.

This was the early 1960's of my early youth since 1962. A skeleton remains today and has been gone for more than five decades.

[@ldav2006]

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

[@DEZINE5]

Trenton became the exact schematic of John David Rockefeller. "We want a nation of workers not a nation of thinkers"!

Trenton Takes, What the Worlld Doesn't Want.

[@bluefj-wc3vz]

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

[@TS-km5wn]

They used a lot of asbestos in their finished assemblies for insulation. It didn't work out so well.

[@jamesbutera5981]

WHAT A FANTASTIC WAY OF LIFE!! ??

[@DEZINE5]

Trenton, New Jersey has always been a transient little town with little opportunities and remains the same.

[@DEZINE5]

Trenton never grew up and became progressive, but remained industrial and stuck. Technology was never embraced and remains paralyzed, petrofied and handicapped to the past as an industrial town of production facilities that no longer exist on USA soil. These production "plants", are an abbreviation for "plantation".

[@Seekimo]

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

[@TheJmich2001]

Substitute "was" for "is"

[@ncamaro76]

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

[@jamalnegrar6333]

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