The Way Camden Used To Be

When I saw this site, I was impressed with the rich history of Camden, New Jersey. As some of you may know, Camden isn't what it used to be. The era when Camden City's business was a flourishing center of business is long gone. Today, Camden is one the top most dangerous city in New Jersey and in the US. What a shame! There are old photographs of old business cards, b/w and color buildings, newspaper ads and other things..
