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:)
Pat was a former barber, working out of his own Genesee St. home (second floor). He served as a Trenton Police Reserve officer in the 50s and 60s as well as a county constable.
He drove Packards. Black ones.
I saw him wading and fishing during his lunch hour, beneath the dam at Gropps Lake, wearing a three piece black suit, tie, and fedora, with full waders. My father said he look like an undertaker. ;-)
