A Busy Cincinnati Lot and Odd Local Tales
A vacant corner lot at Park and Columbia in Cincinnati serves as a nightly gathering place for the poor with the policemen on the beat passing by as a noisy, undrilled ‘band’. Also recounted are aged Granny Hughes’s arrest on a Sunday, a Vermont druggist selling taudanum, and a Woodford man’s humorous laudanum misadventures and sodium quip.
