Jesus Saves Church/Bijou Theatre


1100 South Clinton Avenue, The Burg. Once the Bijou Theatre
but always the Jesus Saves Church (AKA The Trenton Deliverance
Center) in my day. Stans Deli was near here as was Toms Record
Shop.

My husband tells me there was a pool hall in the basement of this building in the 60's. "Redface" was the main hustler.

Yes there was. After the Bijou, the theater became The Blue Fountain dance club..for teenagers.

The other corner was a Pharmacy and soda shop with marble floors and counters. Can't remember the name of it, used to stop and get a soda on the way home from Immaculate. Laventhal Shoes was on one corner and Bijou Florist on the other.

Yes, I remember playing pool in the basement late 50's.

Are you a Panko?
I watched and learned from Redface.
I played at the Bije all the time.
