Amber Street, a minor thoroughfare in Camden, runs parallel to Kaighn Avenue, spanning from South 4th to South 6th Streets. Originally, its reach extended further westward, all the way to South 2nd Street. The street is commonly referred to as “the alley next to Triangle Liquor” on its eastern side near Broadway, and as “the alley next to the bank” on the western side of Broadway.
