Good men and women, trying make a few bucks, opened scores of taprooms and lounges along Waukegan Road. Beloved institutions like Hackney's restaurants, Meier's Tavern, and Grandpa's Place were originally supplied by a bootlegging operation that was both local and friendly. Then the Chicago Outfit moved in. Author Jill Crane traces the path the resilient citizens of Glenview took in carving a thriving community out of the tumult of Prohibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowing up, Jill Ruschli Crane was fascinated by family tales about the Roaring Twenties in Glenview. Offspring of bootleggers, bartenders and a gangster's moll, she researched what it was really like in those dry days. Her scrutiny uncovered humble, hardworking people caught up in the Prohibition culture they didn't want as they coped through a frantic time. Her previous endeavors included raising more than $1 million for a children's hospital, running her own interior design business, golfing her way to an eighteen handicap (that lasted two weeks) and using her passion for history to author a country club centennial musical review. This is her first book, but more Glenview history is on its way, with her next book about Curtiss-Reynolds Airfield, Glenview's premier airport, the precursor to the Glenview Naval Air Station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 26, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50331941011693,"sku":"9781467149280","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/F1dnpPUDPH9781467149280.webp?v=1784961831","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/glenview-prohibition-bootleggers-boondoggles-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
