- Description:
- Streams of confiscated liquor pour out of upper windows of three--story storefront in Detroit during Prohibition. "Illegal liquor was the second biggest business in Detroit at $215 million a year in 1929, just behind automobiles, public opinion was against the liquor ban and no mayor was elected in Detroit who expressed favorable views of prohibition, there were as many as 25,000 blind pigs operating in the Detroit area, people drank everywhere, from speakeasies to private clubs to established restaurants to storefronts, and of course they drank at home, cocktail parties were the rage in society circles, and workmen wanted beer with their lunch or dinner, you could buy a shot from a car in the parking lots of the Hamtramck auto plants or in one of the four hundred 'soft drink parlors' licensed in that city in 1923, open flaunting of the unpopular law was pandemic," from Detroit News article.
