Leanna Born is Trenton's next downtown celeb
A few months ago I wrote about Gail Johnson
and her fab house warming at the Broad St. Bank.
This month, my friend Leanna Born is following in Gail's footsteps as one of the latest tenants at the Broad St. Bank. Leanna has been looking around town for a mod urban apartment to match her "cool girl" lifestyle. She's just the kind of girl a hip downtown needs. In full disclosure, Leanna is Annie Pott's sister who is my wife Michelle's good friend. But that said, and at risk of stating the obvious. Leanna is a cute, blond, single ,20 something who will certainly brighten up the place. Go to any vibrant center city neighborhood and you'll find plenty of young professionals like Leanna enjoying the scene and spicing things up. As to start brightening up Trenton, our new neighbor is hosting a house warming on the "oh so cool" party deck at the bank. Yours truly was lucky enough to score an invitation and definitely plans to go. Thanks to all involved in finally getting the Broad St. Bank on the right track. We're starting to get fun new people in Trenton. |

Just in case you need to a few thousand crackers
Here's a kitchen feature you don't typically
find in a suburban McMansion. The #4 unit
at the Cracker Factory is being re-designed
to accommodate a large commercial scale that
was in the building when the developers
bought it.
This commercial grade Toledo scale will measure up to 500 lbs. I guess you could stand on it before as you decide what to make for dinner. I first saw the scale on my initial venture into the building 5 years ago and thought it was pretty interesting. I'm sure that in addition to providing a future owner with an interesting centerpiece in the kitchen, HHG also decided the scale was just too big to move. So unit #4 can now be known as the "Scale" unit. In other Cigar Factory news Unit #9 has added a 1/2 bath to the floor plan. Also, Michelle met a woman at a party last weekend who's hot on the trail of buying the "Hearth" unit. Good luck. |

Featuring "Zabriskie Point"
I heard an NPR piece recently about communities
that were up in arms because their Starbucks
was closing. Apparently this is thought of
as a sign of
the end of civilization in those towns
What?

Wednesday nights. The next film is Wed.,

Cooper's Crossing is on the way
If you drive down Rt 29 in Trenton, past
Katmandu, look on the other side of the
highway and you'll see a particularly ugly
housing project being quickly demolished.
This is Kearney Homes going away.
It's making way for Coopers Crossing which will be the first large market rate housing development in Trenton in years (like 50 years). This is great news for Trenton and South Trenton especially. |

In the heart of South Trenton
Laura Crockett has been renting her house in
South Trenton while she's living out in
California. Laura's an interesting person,
but that's another story.
Her beautiful row house at 625 Centre St. is spacious and well priced for someone looking to get get their feet wet in Trenton. Laura's having an Open House in September, but meanwhile take a look at the listing and get in touch with Laura directly if you're interested. |

Your downtown pad
The one bedroom at 8 Peace is available.
8 Peace is right downtown and one block from all the state office buildings and the Capitol. It's 100 yards from the Marriott, around the corner from lovely S. Warren St. and Cafe Ole. A short walk to the train station. A block and a half from Settimo Cielo. Well, you get the idea. The unit was gut rehabbed a couple of years ago with a design by architect Rich Carrol. Given the price there's no nicer one bedroom in downtown Trenton. |
