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:)

I think the place on the corner was Bijou Florists.
This was across the street from Lavinthal Shoes and kitty-corner to "The Bije" Pool Hall.
The little store to its left was (I think) Whittikund Jewelers.
Across the street from the florist and from the Bijou theater was a Rexall pharmacy. It had a really nice soda fountain where you could get a great Cherry Coke, or root beer float, fresh made
SJBill...Mr. Whittikind's daughter/son worked at the A&P on Beatty St. Thought he was the son, found out later she was the daughter. Used to stop at the Rexall on my way home from Immaculate to have a vanilla coke. Used my "pagan baby" money, Joe Z.
It's not nice to spend the Pagan Babie's money on Vanilla cokes, that's why you have to drive to Trenton for Tomato pies and Lingerie.
Joe Z...I'm goin' to ask Ricky DeLorenzo to put up a "pagan baby' donation jar at the register, so when I go in I can kill 2 birds with 1 tomato pie...and get rid of this Catholic guilt.
