| What's the Deal Grosse Ile? |
Last week, I did an hour long podcast on "Prohibition on the Detroit River" in the Downriver area for What's the Deal Grosse Ile?.
I misidentified the state highway numbers of the "Avenues de Booze", also known as the "Rummer Highway(s)"--Dixie Highway is U.S.-25, and Telegraph Road is U.S.-24.
Before National Prohibition took effect, the state of Michigan went "dry" with the enactment of The Damon Act on May 1, 1918 opening up the "Detroit/Toledo Funnel."
Once National Prohibition became law on January 15, 1920, "The Detroit/Windsor Funnel" put the Detroit River into play making it a battleground for coastal communities up and down the river.
