Step into Princeton’s storybook piazza as we peel back the layers of Palmer Square—where Depression-era ambition meets Georgian flair, where Baker’s Alley’s erased Black history still echoes between brick façades, and where Norman Rockwell murals, Sherwood-Forest oak legends, jazz-soaked nights, and seasonal spruce-tree spectacles share the same eight leafy acres. From hidden passageways behind chocolate shops to the secret signature on a verdigris tiger, this episode guides you through 80 years of commerce, controversy, and campus-town charm—perfect for anyone who loves their local history with a dash of whimsy and a scoop of Bent Spoon gelato.
