Note this is just a partial list as they list the places
that sent them the information. Casino, Zips, Manninos,
Peps, etc are not on here for example. The Burg was
the old Burg until the late 1990s in most ways:)

Hey there is a place near Rossi's that has bigger burgers. Nah, can't be right? Lord they were huge but bigger wasn't better. But we have to double check this so we have to go to Rossi's in a few days.
SoHo? Can't get parking at Rossi's meant head over to SoHo. Besides, Rossi still doesn't put cheddar on a burger ... at least yet they don't.
Was it Amici's or Chianti's that had the flounder macadamia?
How many times did you walk out of Clint-Mott and look back not quite believing that you had a great meal; it just didn't look like that kind of place.

HI MAC...THAT'S SOME LIST OF RESTAURANTS IN THE 90'S. IT'S A BIG CHANGE FROM THE LIST I CAN RECALL IN THE 20'S. IN THOSE DAYS THE BURG WAS KNOWN FOR THE ITALIAN GROCERIES AND BAKERIES. IN THE 1930,S MOST PEOPLE COULD,NT AFFORD TO EAT OUT. CHAMBERBURG WENT THROUGH MANY CHANGES SINCE 1919 AND WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED BY THOSE WHO SPENT THEIR YOUNGER DAYS THERE. BEST REGARDS.
In the 90s both Immaculate and St Joachims School were there, The Columbus Day Parade and Feast of Lights were still going, Most of the restaurants and corner stores were still going. The Burg as we knew it sort of vanished in the last couple of years but for most of the 90s it was still the old
Burg:)
Hi Skip & Ralph:)
Rossi and Soho Burgers ,,just..
AMAZING:)
Cannoli..Landolfis, Italian Peoples..etc
Mack, I forgot to post it but that was Cesare's that tried to go toe to toe with Rossi's back around 1975.
You had to love the spirit of competition.
