Nothing organized in chambersburg, it went away just like Newark’s first ward and down neck, jersey city’s village. The shore barely hanging on. Gone gone gone The people’s italian bakery not as good anymore btw
It’s long over. And not just in NJ. Those neighborhoods and the mindsets don’t exist for Italian Americans anymore. You’d have to be crazy to get involved in the little bit that’s left since 2000 with all the technology. Cameras fucking everywhere these days.
I’m surprised peoples is even still there. All the old Italian joints in Trenton are now Honduran restaurants. In Brooklyn they’re Asian food. The Bloods and cartels aren’t scared of the mob. There’s just a respect for what it once was that still exists. When I tell stories about my great grandfather being a bootlegger, it’s like describing cowboys in the Wild West. Ancient history.
