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:)

My dad worked at Whitey's on South Clinton in the late 40's early 50's..he brought home the first TV in the neighborhood, a 13" black&white with a full magnifier screen cover. Neighbors came over to watch Milton Berle's Texaco Hour..(makeup???)
Back in the day, you had to be on **very good** terms with a TV repairman. Remember all the test equipmant and pattern generators they needed to keep teh image from rolling or stretching like forever.
Whitey's! Just a few doors from Chambersburg Community House.
The great folks in there (your dad included) taught me the beginnings of electronics.
Guess it's a trophy store now.
It was 10 inch Admiral for us and Milton Berle was the bomb!
