Looking for something more? Editor, Trenton, NJ

The exact time frame in question is in dispute but yes. The Washington Post bought the Times of Trenton in the 1970s and tried to bury the Trentonian. They failed. Katharine Graham would later call Trenton her "Waterloo."

 

The Trentonian bills itself as the area's only Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper.
What they neglect to mention was that the Pulitzer was for a photo.

 

No, it was for editorial writing by Gil Spencer, who was the paper's editor and later editor of the Philly Daily News, New York Daily News and Denver Post. That was in 1974, however.

 

oops my bad. I had been told it was for a photo.

 

I grew up in Trenton when the Trentonian was the morning paper and the Times was the p.m. The Trentonian was where you turned for city news. And it was THE place for sports coverage. Even after the Times went to mornings, I don't remember a lot of people coming into DeLorenzo's for lunch and reading the Times. But that was a long time ago, and I don't live in Trenton anymore.

 

do you thank god every day?

 

Which DeLorenzo's -- Hamilton Ave. or Hudson St.?

 

Answers...
Yes!
Hamilton Ave.

 

I ask the same thing????

 

If the stories I and others have heard about that paper are to be believed, the answer is yes.

 

As absolute coincidence would have it (sorry for the threadjack), this is one of the featured restaurants on roadfood.com today.

DeLorenzo's has two locations that are different. That review was of the Hudson Street location while John fondly remembers the Hamilton Avenue location. Here's a review of both:
