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:)

Hi Mack: That sure brings back memories. My girl friend lived next door at 13 Howell Street. The lot next to her house was vacant at the time. DeFranks did most of their work at 11 Howell. We were married there in 1940 and lived with her parents for 6 months. The lot had a big barn and was used by Bartolino to store glass. I remember Tony DeFrank well and praised him for his trap shooting trophys. I imagine his son operates the business. Regards.
Ralph: I met Mr.DeFrank through Ralph Arnell who owned Ace Welding. I was dating his daughter Peggy until she passed away in 1975.He also was into trap shooting. My parent purchased all their appliances from DeFrank's.
Hi Ralph & JoeZ.
So sorry about Peggy:(
This area of Howell Street cant
be more than 300 feet from our
home in the Burg back in the day:)
