Dean, I have a picture of my grandfather behind his "bar" in the prohibition era. He also operated a pigeon ring behind the building where the bar was operated. He also had a successful beer distributorship that exists to this day. When his obituary was published in the Hazleton, PA newspaper in 1929, he was described as the operator of a "cafe on Pine Street" and a "respected city councilman". Repeal of prohibition would come four years later.
