A Blog about the Chambersburg area of Trenton NJ. The Burg we all loved and miss. If you were from the Burg I hope many of the pictures and lists and comments under them from good folks bring back some nice memories. Villa Park, Franklin Park, South Trenton, and nearby Hamilton also mentioned. Use the search box atop the blog to find schools,churches,streets,stores,bars etc that you remember. Over 4000 posts and 3000 pics. Enjoy:)
Down the street towards Beatty St was a hat store...don't remember the name but I did buy a great black hat there in the sixties and another time a beret!
think I am wrong about the name being Frizzel's. My brother tells me that Frizzel's was the men's shop on the corner of Broad and Beatty across from Weinberg's department store. But then again, he has been wrong before!!:):)
Nope, Mike..brother is right. Frizells Hat Shop was on the corner of Broad and Beatty across from Weinbergs. My husband still has a hat in the original box (not much of a hat guy). There was another hat store on Clinton around the block from Rogers Funeral Home.
Saxman: Your brother is right, it was Frizzel's, the gentleman's name was Lee. Bought many a head warmer there. Tried to get a job there in high school on the work program, wound up at Frank's Big and Tall.

Clinton Avenue? It doesnt
list the name of the place.
I remember buying a hat there
too long ago.
Across the street was Whitey's...my father worked there and brought home the first 13" TV in the neighborhood. People came over to watch Milton Berle!
Mack....thought about the hat shop and I think I got it at 2:30am this morning...Frizzles's ???
I forget the name of the hat
shop. I bought the hat like
30 years ago there.
It might be frizzles.
Thanks Sax

I just learned from my sister, Ermie that the hat shop just closed not long ago.
