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:)
To the left of Quinn's..the vacant lot in the pic...was Frankie Namaths' barber shop. My father got his hair cut there and so did I..as I got older I would go myself and Frankie would tell me my father already let him know how to cut my hair....yeah, right!
This building was built in 1892 for Warren A. Quinn. The bar itself was made by Rothchilds and Sons in Cincinati Ohio and shipped to Trenton. Rothchilds were makers of furniture for saloons, barber shops etc...

Quinn's was a very colorful place..always got my Shirley Temple's from John the bartender and a hard boiled egg when I sat at the bar with my father.
My grandfather used to walk there for a shot and a beer.
Quinnies!
Sam the Pizza Pie Man spent his days here while his dough was proofing.
Great place it was. The Burg had sooooo many great pubs, all within walking/crawling distance of home
