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:)
Lou Crecco was a decent man. He was a great host and owner and his restaurant served many staisfied customers over the years. I lived at 200 Ashmore Ave. Lou Crecco bought our house in September 1978. He was planning on knocking it down to make a parking lot for his establishment. However the City of Trenton said no. i knew a guy who lived there several years later and into the early 1990s. I still think of and miss the neighborhood and my old house.
Creccos The La Gondola Trionfettis are all just a memory now. However a good one. I have been out of the burg since 1978. I was 12 years of age when we moved. I still remember with fondness my youth. It is a shame to see the old neighborhood so runned down these days. This is not a safe place anymore and I would not walk around this area in fear of being mugged stabbed shot jumped or even killed.

Lou gave me a $5 Christmas Tip as a paperboy one year..in the 1970s that was a very good tip. He was a nice guy:)
