"Hookers, low end bars, alcohol without ID...you could find anything you wanted!" Let me add: Murder, bootlegging, cheating, payoffs to city/county authorities, etc, etc.

Those words could apply to almost any Illegal casino "Cluster" in most cities USA in the 1920's thru 50's. 2nd St Salt Lake City, Troost St, Kansas City, MO, Monmouth St, Newport, KY, Merchant St, Decatur, IL etc, etc. The list goes on and on. Lots of time the newspaper stories we capture do not list everything going on in the "Clusters."

The "Era Of The Illegals" was a different time and a different place.
My intentions are not to "Glorify" it, just to tell the story. Different names, different cities, but the stories with minor variations are the same.
