PARK BOULEVARD got its name from from the parks (Red Hill, Forest Hill, and Farnham) which it originally skirted. It is one of the three main thoroughfares of the Parkside neighborhood, the others being Kaighn Avenue and Baird Boulevard. It begins at Haddon Avenue as a continuation of Chestnut Street, heading north before curving east more or less parallel to the Cooper River, crossing Baird Boulevard and Kaighn Avenue before coming to an end at Vesper Boulevard, which is the border of Harleigh Cemetery. Park Avenue landmarks include the Pearlye Building, Camden High School, Farnham Park, and Pomona Hall, the home of the Camden County Historical Society. More recent significant buildings include the Boys and Girls Club, built on the site where the Congregation Beth El Synagogue stood from the 1920s through the late 1990s, and the Faison Mews senior citizens apartments, which opened in 2006. |

Johnson, who has been released in $2,000 bail pending an August 1 hearing on charges of possessing lottery paraphernalia, was permitted to sign his own $1,000 bail bond for appearance before the grand jury as a material witness. Police claim to have found more than 5,000 numbers slips while searching his home. Ames appeared at yesterday's hearing in a wheel chair. Among witnesses who testified yesterday were Jesse A. Jones, 50, of the 1100 block Cooper Street, Leon Williams, 65; of Kentucky Avenue, Atlantic City, and Hugh Johnson, 34, of the 800 block Cherry Street.
