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...REVERE AVE WAS MY FAVORITE STREET IN VILLA PARK. IT WAS WHERE WE ALL MET TO DECIDE WHAT'S GOING ON. IT WAS THE ONLY STREET IN VILLA PARK THAT WAS PAVED AT THE TIME. WE WERE ABLE TO ROLLER SKATE AND MEET AT THE DELI ON THE CORNER. THE TRENTON TRANSIT BUS ALSO STOPPED THERE. WE PLAYED BASKETBALLL AT THE CORNER OF COLUMBUS AND ROEBLING. WE HAD TO TOE THE LINE CAUSE THE TRENTON CHIEF OF POLICE O'ROURKE ALSO LIVED ON THAT CORNER. MY CLOSE FRIEND FRED DeBRONZO BUILT HIS HOUSE ON REVERE AVE. WITH A LOT OF THE MATERIAL FROM THE OLD TRENTON HIGH THAT WAS TORN DOWN IN THE 30'S. WE EVENTUALLY FORMED A CLUB CALLED THE VILLA PARK SOCIAL CLUB AND USED IT FOR MAZNY SPORTS. IT WAS A TIME DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION THAT WORKED OUT FINE. BEST REGARDS.
Hi Ralph:)
I didnt know the other villa park streets were not paved. I liked Revere avenue too. Its wider that most other streets in VP and a friend lived there:)
MACK: I HAVE TO AGREE, WE LOVED LIVING THERE NICE NEIGHBORS, ALL IN ALL JUST A NICE PLACE TO CALL HOME.
