\"Chestnut<\/a>Back in the 1980s, I went to art school, and I along with all of the other illustration majors<\/strong> were required to take a minor course in photography. We had to shoot the photos as well as process the negatives and make the prints. I don\u2019t recall what the particulars of the class assignments were although I can tell from looking at the negatives which were the assignments and which ones were shot just to finish off a roll. The shots to finish a roll are a lot more interesting. While my fellow students mostly resided and shot their photographs in the vibrant metropolis of Philadelphia, I lived and did most of my shooting in and around Westville, NJ<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Chestnut<\/a>This was The Chestnut House<\/strong> circa 1982. It stood at the corner of Chestnut Street and Crown Point Road. Back when The Philadelphia Bulletin<\/strong><\/em> was still being published, The Chestnut House was on my route, and I delivered the paper to the kitchen. It smelled terrific in there, and the dishes looked tasty, but sadly I never ate there.<\/p>\n

These posts seem to be fairly popular with the Westville<\/strong><\/a> and Gloucester<\/strong><\/a> folks on Facebook<\/strong> so I’m hoping a number of you have stories or a history of the place which seemed to stand there forever. Feel free to comment below or on your respective Facebook pages. Thanks!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
