DRIVER OF TRUCK HELD AFTER BEER IS SEIZED Arrested on a federal charge of transporting and possession of beer, John Grost, 39, of 1603 Norris Street, was committed to jail without bail for a hearing before U. S. Commissioner Wynn Armstrong today. The truck driven by Grost was stopped at Collings Road and the Black Horse pike by police, who found three half barrels of beer. In the machine with Grost was Bruno Skalowski, 16, of 1057 Everett Street, who was held as a material witness. When the pair were locked up, Grost told Jailer Harry Stahl that "someone drove alongside of his truck and put the barrels in there."	1603 Norris Street 1931 John Grost Camden Courier-Post October 21, 1931

Intersection of Sheridan Street & Norris Street

Stanley J. Wdzieczkowski was operating the bar at 1627 Norris Street as early as June of 1939, when his liquor license was renewed, as reported in the Camden Courier-Post. The bar is listed in the 1940 under the name of John S. Wdzieczkowski, and in the 1943 and 1947 directories under Stanley J. Wdieczkowski. In 1947 the name Ginger's Tavern was also applied. New Jersey Bell Telephone Directories from 1954 through 1982 show the name as Ginger's Cafe. Stanley J. Wdzieczkowski was lsited as the proprietors as late as 1964. It is unclear as of this writing how long the Wdzieczkowski family was still involved in the bar after that.

In 1985 the bar is listed in the New Jersey Bell Telephone Directory as the Deja Vu Cafe. It remained opened under this name into the early 1990s. Since then it has been opened intermittently under various names and managements.

1773 Norris Street

Mischief Night, 1996

At 8:33 p.m. a call was received for a dwelling fire at 1773 Norris Street in the South Camden section of the city. In this area most of the homes are two story brick rows. Camden City Fire Marshal Herb Leary (FM 1) was the first to arrive, he reported heavy fire coming from a two story dwelling in the middle of a row of ten occupied dwellings. The first arriving Company was Engine Company 108, Collingswood, NJ. They were immediately ordered to use a 2 1/2 inch attack line to make the initial knockdown. And within 5 minutes the heavy fire was completely darkened down as other arriving units came to their assistance. The fire was confined to the one vacant dwelling. Occupied homes on both sides received smoke damage but another job well done.
