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:)
Now I do remember it being Allen's Market, but when I was a kid, it was just "the corner store" to all of us on Tyler Street. They had penny candy like you couldn't believe and pretty much every staple you could possibly need in an emergency (remember walking there in the snow for my mom to get "bread and milk"). We would collect bottles and turn them in (2 cents for small Coke bottles, 5 cents for large Kerns soda bottles) ... Peanut Butter TandyTakes came 3 to a pack, wrapped in waxed paper not plastic, and were 13 cents (my favorite to this day)!
