But it's not as good as Trenton tomato pie, or pizza. <BR/><BR/>When I was a kid, a lot of Freehold Borough was run-down...not in a Trenton kind of way, but it was enough of a deterrent that a lot of suburbanites chose the restaurants and stores at the strip plazas and shopping malls because of the persistent fear that the borough wasn't safe.<BR/><BR/>Sometime in the late 80s/early 90s, the place REALLY turned around, and it has become a really trendy, vibrant community. I know that I'm just a dopey Johnny-Come-Lately, but I saw Freehold Borough's transformation firsthand, and I believe that kind of change is possible here in Trenton too, but only with A LOT of work, and working together. A city government that really cares about and represents the people would certainly help, too.Christine Otthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506823491982635443noreply@blogger.com
