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:)
First trip to Metedeconk...got there are it was packed..this is early to mid 50's...and we got there early!...so my dad says he saw another place back toward the circle...it was called John's Beach...we stopped there and had a great time..crabbed all day off a little pier..great picnic grove..less people..this was our place to go for years after.
a lot of us local kids (hudson/swan/whittaker/roebling/emory) would loiter on the icehouse loading platform where you bought ice after business hours in the summer. the place was so cold that we had free air conditioning...OUTSIDE!!! i just remembered that... :)

Ice House was destination every Sunday prior to weekly family pilgrimage to Meteteconk or LBI. Someone had to "put the ice in the tub".
Metedeconk!
That big porch with chairs on
it. The crabbers at the dock.
We went there many times :)
Yep and if you got there early, you could have prime location with picnic table. Cabana rentals and boat rentals also available.
Wow, my family must have been out of the loop. Ice chest filled-on to Washingtons Crossing for a picnic or Wildwood for the day.
