However, generally speaking, what is wrong with Trenton?
The bullets that are flying all over the place, for one thing. The hookers, drug dealers and the general number of people who appear to be up to no good are the icing on the cake.

We are usually up in Trenton from Princeton for shopping on Trenton Farmers Market. Have you been there? It has a nice selection of local produce in the season, fine foods and has some kind of rustic old fashioned atmosphere. And we haven't seen anything like you describe. The people there are always peaceful, friendly and relaxed, and lots of kids... Or Trenton Farmer Market is not considered Trenton? Or it is not representative?
The Trenton Farmers Market is actually in Lawrence NJ-http://www.thetrentonfarmersmarket.com/
On Spruce St. at the junction of Lawrence/Trenton/Ewing.
Not a bad place at all, although, I find their prices for produce a little on the high side.
Not far from this location, a 13 y/o was killed in a drive by shooting on June 8th 2009, a Sunday afternoon, at a block BBQ 13-Year-Old Killed During Trenton Block Party - cbs3.com (http://cbs3.com/local/shooting.teen.rossell.2.1035627.html - broken link)

I have family in the area, including an Lt. in the Trenton PD. I'm all-too aware of what goes on in Trenton. I've done more than one police ride-along on a Friday night. It's not pretty. Riding along Olden Ave. at night (and having to stop to get gas) makes me wish there was a CCW permit available in NJ more than anything.
And as someone mentioned, the Farmer's Mkt. is not held within the city limits.

how is it that you live so close to trenton, and are unaware of what goes on there? i grew up outside of newark, but i was never blind to how unsafe it was....and still is.

Yeah, whenever I go into Trenton it's like Omaha Beach on D-Day...................
