3 Reviews & Comments About Trenton
Lol i was born in jersey and my family lives in Trenton we moved but we went to visit I saw the state prison everyday lol I loved it there I like that it's ghetto
I live in Trenton and I live in a beautiful neighborhood
I grew up in Trenton. It was close to everything, malls, food, and shops. You name it! We kept our doors unlocked and everyone knew their neighbor. It wasn't a very rich city but people were friendly and there was low crime. Fast forward to today, 39 years later, things are a lot different. Shops are closed, crime is high, streets a loaded with trash and everyone is fighting each other. No one goes to Trenton anymore.
I wouldn't recommend a trip to Trenton unless you are visiting relatives or have an appointment during the day with a business. Bullets are always crossing the streets from gang fights. I'd recommend going else where.
