@njdotcom: Can you believe this magnificent theater in Jersey City was almost demolished?! After $130M and two years of restoration, Loew’s Jersey Theatre is finally opening its doors this week. Big-name stars like Bing Crosby, Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway once played at this nearly century-old landmark. It sat mostly empty for more than four decades and almost faced the wrecking ball in the 80’s, but was thankfully saved and restored. Have you ever walked past this iconic spot and wondered what’s inside? 📷 Loew's Jersey Theatre | New Jersey Room, Jersey City Free Public Library
