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:)

Whitey and Brownie Bralynski were top businessmen in the Burg. Juke boxes, pin ball and (IIRC) cigarette machines, most were owned and serviced by Brown's Novelty, corner of Division St. and South Clinton. All important board meetings were held over at Eddie's Luncheonette across the street.
As a teen I spent alot of time at Pat's Diner. Great burgers! Probably not well known, Frankie Trienfetti also had had a vending company. While collecting on a weekend he was robbed and shot in the upper arm. Complete recovery.
SJBill, whenever we walked into Eddie Lunchonette to grab a cherry coke, everybody at the "board" meeting would go completely quiet until we left. Lots of important mob "business" done at those board meetings.
