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:)

A huge shopping trip to Atlantic Mills was a twice a year tradition when we were kids. There were 5 of us, so in the summer it was $1-$2 "sunsuits" and "pedal-pushers" (capri pants) for us girls and similarly inexpensive shorts and T-shirts for the boys and bathing suits for all. Then in fall, it was long pants and sweaters and heavy coats. The trunk of our car would be jam-packed with bags and bags of clothes!
atlantic mills was a great place to go as a kid.
some memories...
the very steep two-stage ramp to the basement level
the funky green and pink wall paint. i think that since the lead paint factory was nearby (hancock and cass), the mill got a discount on the paint. (just a theory)
asbestos was everywhere! it covered all the exposed pipes and ceilings, and some walls from the building's factory days. i think people from south trenton became immune to asbestos-related lung problems after a few visits to atlantic mills. LOL!!!
