Newton Ave Trolley
Posted on: 2012-01-05
This is a follow-up to an an email I received from Bette Weed inquiring about the old Newton Ave Trolley. Bette said the Trolley did a turn around in back of Schafer's (Irma and the one who raised carrier pigeon on Newton Ave.?). The trolley had tracks up and down the streets and ran over a bridge on Newton Creek that was torn down in the 1950's to 1960's
Thanks to Bette Weed's detective work, we have some photos of the Trolley. The owner of the collection writes... 'Public Service conventional trolley 3158 is seen at the Newton Avenue Car House after a run on route 5-Haddonfield via Haddon Avenue. This line served the communities of Collingswood and Westmont as well. It was converted to All-Service Vehicles in 1933, then to bus operation in 1947 and extended across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge to Philadelphia via Market Street; and Newton Avenue itself is the main headquarters of New Jersey Transit Bus Operations, South Jersey.'
Caption data from Dennis M. Linsky, Bill Volkmer Collection.
Thanks, Bette, for sharing your memories! Many of us had no idea a trolley car once ran down Newton Ave and across the creek!

| Newton Ave Trolley?
Posted on: 2012-01-02
A reader recently asked if I knew of any pictures of the Old Trolley that did a turn around in back of Schafer's (Irma and the one who raised carrier pigeons on Newton Ave.)? The trolley had tracks up and down the streets and ran over a bridge on Newton Creek now torn down. They tore the tracks up in the 1950's to 1960's.
I was definately around in the 50's & 60's but do not recall a tolley or trolly tracks. Anyone know anything about this? Any photos? It would be neat to start an album on Our Oaklyn with old photos! Please feel free to forward any you may have to my email address!

Best in Cient Satisfaction - 5 Star Realtor
Posted on: 2011-12-01
I want to say “thank you” to all of my clients who have continually supported me throughout the years. This year I have the honor of being selected as a “Best in Client Satisfaction”- Five Star Realtor for 2012.
Some of you may already know how I received this award. For those of you who are not familiar, New Jersey Monthly Magazine commissioned an independent research firm to conduct a client satisfaction survey. Surveys were taken with more than 81,500 home buyer or seller households asking them to rate their realtor on customer service, integrity, market knowledge, communication & negotiation skills, closing preparation, helping them find the right home or marketing the home being sold and overall satisfaction.
I was fortunate enough to have scored in the top 7% in Client Satisfaction out of 80,700 New Jersey Realtors!
If you were a participant in this survey, please let me know. I would love to hear from you so I can personally thank you!
As always, your referral is the highest compliment I can receive!
