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....I RECALL PEOPLE IN THE BURG SPEAK OF WILLIE IN THE DAYS OF KID EMMONS, PAULIE WALKER, YOUNG TERRY AND GEORGIE LEVY. WE HAD MANY PRIZE FIGHTERS IN THE BURG AND THEY FOUGHT CHAMPIONS AT THE ARENA ON STOCKTON ST. FIGHTERS AND WRESLERS WERE ABOUT THE ONLY GUYS WORKING DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION. BEST REGARDS.
