Prohibition Sparks Remodels and New Businesses Across Town
Remodeling of several former saloon buildings continues as fixtures are shipped out for use in other states where liquor sales persist. Saloons convert to soft drink emporiums and pool halls, while some spaces close or host new ventures like a wholesale candy store and soda parlor. Prohibition appears to boost post New Year business and reduce arrests, signaling a potential economic boom for the local economy.
