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:)

IT'S ME AGAIN MAC....BOY, DOES THAT BRING BACK MEMORIES. COULD YOU SEE THAT DINER NEXT TO THE MOOSE HALL? WELL THAT'S WHERE I HAD MY BREAKFAST EACH MORNING FOR MANY YEARS WHILE I WORKED AT THE POST OFFICE ACROSS THE STREET.
Hi Ralph:))
Glad the picture brought back the ole days:))))
The smaller Squirrel Hall, never received much attention.
A lot of fights were held there during the years, but I never got to see them.
For us Burg kids, Moose Hall was for wrestling back in the 60s. Argentina Rocca, Sweet Daddy Siki. Buddy Rogers. All were the worst of enemies in the ring, and best of friends when the entered or left the building together.
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THE MOOSE HALL WAS THE SITE OF THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL GAME WAY BACK WHEN THEY PLAYED THE GAME IN A CAGE. THEY DRIBBLED WITH 2 HANDS AND HAD A JUMP BALL AFTER EACH BASKET. REGARDS.
ONE MORE THIMG ABOUT THAT GAME, I READ BECAUSE OF THE CAGE, THERE WERE NO OUT OF BOUNDS. I THINK LOCAL PLAYERS LIKE RUSTY SANDERS, AL COOPER AND GEORGE GLASCO PLAYED UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS.
