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:)

SJ I was a geek too. used to
find old radios and try to fix them
often with success. Fixed TVS when
they had tubes..my Telegraph won
1st prize for me in science class
in school one year (and same telegraph won my brother 1st prize
a few years later!!! :)
Quite often folks threw away nice radios that only needed a new wire
to the batteries.
This was my great grandfather and my great uncles shop. He passed away on June 2nd RIP. It was just nice seeing this picture. Thank you =]
