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 MAC....WE LIVED ONE DOOR AWAY FROM THE STUDIO IN 1944 WHEN I WAS INDUCTED INTO THE NAVY. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER MOVED BACK TO 13 HOWELL ST.WITH HER PARENTS WHILE I WAS IN THE SERVICE. I RECEIVED $79 A MONTH AS A SECOND CLASS PETTY OFFICER AND $59 OF THAT WENT TO MY WIFE. I HARDLY DREW ANY PAY FOR THE 2 YEARS CAUSE MOST OF THE THINGS I NEEDED WERE PROVIDED BY THE NAVY. I MENTIONED EARILAR THAT I USED THE MONEY I GOT WHEN I WAS DISCHARGED AS A DOWN PAYMENT ON A NEW HOUSE. BEST REGARDS TO ALL.
Hi Ralph:)
I will get a picture of that house
next time I get pics:)
Ralph, you were lucky to have made second class PO. When I was in during the late 60's we still were not making much more. Married I would be singing a different song however. I only made E-4 because I refused to extend for an additional five months. You had to have two years remaining to put that extra stripe on and though I passed the exam the thought of extending for a few bucks a month were not an option.
