The Pharmacy Speakeasy
Next on our agenda was The Pharmacy Speakeasy. I have never understood Prohibition, especially as it was highly unsuccessful for the most part and ultimately failed in the long run. Although most people think of it as being an American notion it was also widespread in other countries, including Canada.
Being a retired pharmacist I was not enamored of the idea that a pharmacy was used as a front for this "den of iniquity" but it sure was fun to dance there. Literally you went through the very normal looking pharmacy to get to the club! We were the only ones there but the stream had some great tunes and the dances were great fun too.
I don't know if this is based on a real place of that era but I did find there is a Pharmacy Speakeasy today in Malaga, Spain and also one in Orlando.
