Just thought I’d point you to my own Repeal Day post (a day late, I know, but it went up yesterday, I swear). My family owned restaurants/taverns in NY, not all of which survived Prohibition:

It’s basically an article from 1930 about the last of the restaurants, but it’s a pretty cool little slice of history (with photos, to boot).
