Notes:
- I spent a lot of time deciphering the various centers around Milltown Road, Georges Road, and U.S.1. You’re welcome.
- Interesting trivia: The James Butler Grocery Company was a huge New York/New Jersey chain until the mid-1930s.. New Brunswick still has one original location of the chain that has been operating contiunously under the Butler name for almost a century, though it is now a convenience store unrelated to the original chain (which went bankrupt in 1937).
