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:)

Broad Street Import Store!
IIRC, this was owned by the Vozar family. I recall the name of Johnnny Vozar as being the youngest, but his father started this business.
If you are into Christmas cookies, Hungarian style, this place sold the **best** in lekvars.
Do not leave this place without a couple pounds of poppy seeds and a container of good paprika -- all from bulk.
From outside appearances, I suspect the place has not changed much in fifty years. ;-)
Always got the prune lekvar, aprocot and walnuts for the kiefli, kolbasz (not kielbasa), hungarian salami (hot and spicy) and paprikash for the chicken. Everytime I go by...never opened, don't know if they're only opened cetain days, but I miss it every time and no days open on the door. Heartbreaking!
Barb,
There may be an active phone (from the web). I'll give it a try, tomorrow. (609) 396-2126

SJBill...Been working in Burlington and Ocean Counties for the past 2 weeks. My Bank has me doing appraisals from Upper Freehold to Chatsworth.
Soon as I'm near Trenton, I'll call and stop in. If she has mail order info, I'll send it along.
