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...THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE TWO STREETS THAT WERE OUR HOME IN THE BURG AND VILLA PARK IN THE EARLY YEARS. IN ADDITION TO FRANKLIN STREET, THAT WAS MY HOME BASE UNTIL MOVING TO MERCERVILLE IN 1950. MY JOB AT THE POST OFFICE STILL GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO COVER MOST OF THE OTHER SECTIONS OF TRENTON, SO, THOSE YEARS ARE THE TIME I THINK ABOUT OFTEN AND RECALL THE HAPPY AND SAD THINGS THAT OCCURED. BETWEEN CARRYING MAIL AND RUNNING THE HAMILTON BOWLING LANES, I GOT TO MAKE MANY FRIENDS THAT ALSO REMEMBERED ME PLAYING WITH THE SCHROTHS IN 1936 AND LATER IN THE BOWLING BUSINESS. IN 93 YEARS I SURE HAVE MANY MEMORIES, GOD BLESS ALL THOSE WHO HELPED ALONG THE WAY.
My job in real estate also allowed me to see all over the city and region of my day. I also went from the Burg to Mercerville.. in fact I am about a 2 minute walk from where you lived in Mercerville. Small world. Thanks as always for your great comments on here:))
