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:)
1068 South Broad Street, The Burg Bettys Bar. Once Leonard Frost's Tavern long ago:)

It wasn't only Lenny Frosts Tavern, Mrs. Frost also ran a boarding house when I was a kid. Single men only and they grew veggies and had a chicken coop in the rear. It was also the Chambersburg Hunting Club, used to hang dead deer from the front of the building to cure (yuck). Scared me to death when I was little, didn't know how Santa was going to get to my house. Became Bill Walters Bar when he retired from the Trenton Police and then 3rd Precinct, when Jimmy Purcell (Stretch) bought it when he retired from Trenton Police.
