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....THAT LOOKS LIKE DAYTON AND SO. BROAD. IN 1932 WHEN I WAS GOING TO JUNIOR 4. IN 1937 I WAS A SENIOR AT TRENTON HIGH BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WALK TO JR.4. WALKING WAS A BIG THING IN MY YOUNGER DAYS. ONE SATURDAY WE WALKED ALL THE WAY FROM PRINCETON, IN THE RAIN YET, NO ONE PICKED US UP DURING OUR HITCH HIKING TO WATCH THE TIGERS PLAY FOOTBALL. REGARDS.
Hi Ralph:))
My walk to and from Trenton High was one mile each way..similar to your walk to Junior 4. Plus we often we add to that by going to friends homes . Kid feet can walk all day long.
From Princeton is really a hike. My guestimate is average walking speed is about 20 minutes for each mile. From the stadium in Princeton I guess is like 15 miles from the Burg... 300 minutes..5 hours of walking wow:)
WE ARRIVED IN TRENTON AROUND 11 AND CAUGHT A BUS HOME AND NEVER FELT BETTER THAN WHEN I HIT THE SACK THAT NIGHT. MERRY ZMAS.
