830 South Clinton Avenue, The Burg
Once upon a time this was The Banana Supply Company.
This is a new picture of this cool old building:)
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:)

This is an old building, dating back to the unincorporated Chambersburg days.
In 1900 the building housed a butcher shop owned by Frank Ketterer. In 1920, the site was a grocery owned by Sam Wolkowitz.
This was a different style building from the newer ones built in the early 1900s (unlike the row house in which our family lived across the street).
The building which housed Anthony's Steak House may even be earlier. That building was a grocery 1881, owned by Joseph Hamer. (Source: Mill Hill Directories).
Anthony's Steak House ---- cheesesteaks and pinball, how good is this!
Nickels, baby! Nickels! I won a pile of them! Lost a few, too.
Those machines were soooo sensitive, but I could always bet the 23, 24, 25 combo for a three in a row.
