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:)

Prior to being Champale, it was the home of the Trenton Old Stock Beer.
Hi Mack: Trenton Old Stock beer was one of the places that my brother Chuck worked when he was home from school. The other place he worked was driving the truck that sprayed for mosquitos in the summer. He always managed to find a way to earn a few bucks. While at Wake Forest University, he learned to play a bass fiddle and was with the orchestra and also waited on tables in the cafeteria. Regards, Ralph
"Funky smell" is putting it mildly...
This (the Champale part) may be one part of our history that we should tuck deep away. Plainly...it stunk.
Hey Guys I still remember the smell of those tomatoes on Lalor St. from Stokely's. What would be the summer air without them.
JoeZ:
I don't know when you left Trenton, but that Stokley's plant is now a high rise for senior citizens.
Joe B. It was closed when I left Trenton in 1990 I think.
the champale site is being developed with residential townhouse construction.
every native trentonian remembers the champale and stokely "aromas". especially, when the breeze was just right on a hot and humid summer day. all of south trenton would be filled with fermented malt and tomato vapors. it was a really unique and undescribeable smell.
