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:)

Mayor Donol J. Connolly was a good friend of my father. He was the Mayor but also served as Commissioner of the Water, Sewer, Street Division and Designm Surveys and Mapping for many years.
Mayor Connolly was at your Mothers and My wedding reception. He could not make the church because of a previous engagement.
Mayor Connolly gave us a very large cash wedding gift. He sat in the back with my dad and they were talking, drinking until Mom and I left.
I don't think you ever knew this. But my dad and he were good friends in the 50's and 60's.
HI MAC...MAYOR CONNOLLY WAS THE MAYOR FOR MOST OF MY YOUNGER YEARS BUT WAS REPLACED BY MY FRIEND AND TEAMMATE ART HOLLAND. AS I RECALL CONNOLLY AND MARY ROEBLING WERE VERY FRIENLY AND YOUR DAD PROBABLY KNOWS MORE ABOUT THAT THAN I. MAYOR CONNOLLY AND MAYOR DONOLLY BOTH WERE VERY GOOD MAYORS AND ART HOLLAND HAD A TOUGH JOB TO CARRY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE CITY. AS WE NOW KNOW, HE DONE A GREAT JOB AND MADE MANY CHANGES. BEST REGARDS.
