Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 1842267, member: 780"] I went into Trenton on a Saturday morning a few years ago to do some research at the main public library. The library, located just a few blocks from the main intersection of State and Broad Streets, was surrounded by a 10' high chain link fence topped with barbed wire. I was told to leave nothing of value in my car and to park inside the fenced area. Trenton at one time was a pleasant town with parks and historic sites. Now it's like a bombed-out US version of Beirut. Along with towns like New Brunswick, Camden, Patterson and Newark it represents the failure of the US to maintain its cities. In 1950, many German cities were literally pulverized by excessive bombing and burning and US cities were in great shape. Fifty years later and its the reverse. [/QUOTE]
