This one's for Sax.
900 South Broad Street, The Burg.
Once upon a time this was Sanders Sweet Shop.
I took this picture today in the Burg:)
Click this picture and it will get much bigger.
Fill your screen with Da Burg.
The pictures I personally take (as opposed to the ones
I get from the net) get huge when you click them:)

Wow. Look at that! A genuine Chambersburg historic landmark!
Check the rounded corner detail. The black panels are still on the outside on what was Sander's. Look at the old window air conditioners behid the place. I used to bend the fins of the ground level A/Cs for Dr. Rosen's office when I walked by. At the extreme left, across Freudenmacher Alley was a real feed store.
Blumenthal's Bakery was just up Broad Street. Then came a vacant lot, and then was the RKO Broad.
Mecca for me.
BREATHTAKING PHOTOGRAPHY, MACK! IT IS SO MUCH NICER THAN THOSE SMALL IMAGES.CAN'T YOU ENLARGE THE PHOTOS YOU ARE GETTING ON THE NET?
TOM GLOVER
(I NEVER MISS CHECKING YOUR SITE EACH DAY. WELL DONE! I REMEMBER THE "SANDERS" ICE CREAM SHOP WELL. THERE WAS A BACK LIT WHITE SIGN WITH "SANDERS" IN BRILLIANT SCARLET AS I RECALL.)
Thank You so much Tom:)
And I am glad you know the
DiNatales:)
When I saw where Jan once lived
in Bromley I hoped you knew her:)
I tried to get the smaller pics
bigger but they must not be "thick" enough as they come out
awful when I do that.
I think of this site as baseball
when dealing with pictures.
The small pics are singles and
the big pics are grand slams:)
The pictures I took today were
aided by what was by far
the best weather we have had so
far this year. The sky was brilliant!!
THIS is the picture I wanted the
most and it came out the best
of all of them:)
SJBill...I spent the first 12 years of my life, between Skelton Library, Broad Theater, Sanders, Dr Lavine and Freudenmacher Alley (OK, and Radices to play the pinball machine when nobody was around...nice girls didn't do that then). It truly was a great life!
If you look real hard you can see 4 guys still hangin' on that corner..Teddy, Walt, Maz and me. I owned the granite stoop in front of the door that went upstairs to the apartment. good memories...thanks Mack!!
