Division Street On a Winter Day, The Burg
You can see the factory and part of the church
and the church fence in this picture from a few
years ago:)
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:)

Hi Mack: Is that the cigar factory?I believe every female in the Burg worked there at one time or another. My mother was a bunch maker,my future sister law worked with her as a cigar maker. You could smell the tobacco on their uniforms a mile away. They worked piece work, which meant they were paid according to the amount of cigars they made. My mother took home cigars for my dad and he smoked them in a pipe.
