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:)
"Mom we have been looking through the bin for that other size 6 shoe for 20 minutes, can't we just go to a normal store?" It's hot and up and down those old factory ramps with the old factory carts and everything is a jumble in huge boxes and crates and bins. Today if I were to make it into aa movie or book I'd call it "Revenge of The Dollar Store" or "Merchants Gone Wild". At least you appreciated shopping downtown with Mom after a day at "The Mills".
Atlantic Mills was the place we did school shopping quite a few times with Mom just a bit too happy on those trips in my judgement LOL..and it would be right around this time of year :))
Yes we shopped here. What i remember most about this store is the V shaped walkway to enter and the store was in the basement. The N. Olden Ave Building across from the Old Korvettes is still standing to this day.
