Bergen Avenue -- Jersey City's main "Main Street." It was at the height of elegance in the early 1930s. One building contains a classic 1930s nightclub called "The Canton Casino" which today is still intact but is just a restaurant.

The Stanley Theater -- completed in 1928, it seats 4,500 and is the 5th largest theater in the country. The original marquee remains and the theater has been beautifully restored. The large electric signs on top of the theater are gone now.

The lobby of the Stanley Theater as it appears today. This may be the most beautiful theater lobby in the country.

The beautiful St. Paul's Church in the Greenville section of Jersey City -- 3 miles from the large theaters.

This fellow says "Jersey City." If there is one postcard I would chose to represent Jersey City, this is it. It was postmarked in 1935. Not only does he play the accordion, but he's a top notch whistler and yodeler too!
