Questions about Trenton, NJ

Hey guys,

I have to do a survey about Trenton, New Jersey for my class and thought "Who is a better group of people to ask than the Giant Bomb community!" So here are some questions I would appreciate if you guys answered and only answered if you have actually been to Trenton. I mean you can if you have not but that won't do me any good. Thanks!

1. When and where was the last time/place that you have been in Trenton?

2. Why do you go to Trenton?

3. Would you feel safe at Trenton living there or raising a family there?

4. What do you think is the biggest problem in Trenton?

5. When I say Trenton, what is the first world to come to your mind?

It ended with the driver being pulled out of his car at a red-light and robbed at gunpoint. You do not stop in Camden. Period.

Trenton is also NOTORIOUSLY corrupt, even by New Jersey standards. You can't make this stuff up.
