The American Dream comes in all shapes and sizes, often materializing in the most humble of circumstances.
In the case of Vincenzo Paxia, a Sicilian immigrant who arrived in the United States in 1958 without being able to speak English, that dream was fulfilled on a quiet, one-way street in the Chambersburg section of Trenton as he raised his family and opened a tailor shop where, at age 80, he practices his craft to this day.
