DON'T...! Warning Signs

Harry Low a toolmaker by trade made his fortune smuggling “booze” across the Detroit River to thirsty 1920s prohibition Americans. Windsor’s location and close proximity to Detroit made smuggling so easy. Speed boats in the summer and cars in winter made their way across the frozen Detroit River to supply America’s want for what they could not have. In 1928 Low had this mansion built with his ill-gotten fortune. What was originally known as Devonshire Lodge would be the place where Low would entertain and do business with the notorious Al Capone who made frequent trips to Windsor, Canada in search of illicit alcohol. In later years what is known today as the Low-Martin house would become the home of prominent Canadian politician Paul Martin Sr. and his son Paul Jr. who one day would become Prime Minister of Canada.
Nella vita ci troviamo di fronte mille divieti ... tutti sono destinati a dissolversi con il tempo e la volontà
What appears to be a tiny cabin or tool shed at what remains of the Hug Winery, Hermann, Missouri. The Hug Winery played an important part in the prohibition era life of Hermann. A two mile walk down the railroad tracks would bring you to one of several places in town were you could imbibe.
The Prohibition mine opened in the early 1900s had the deepest vertical shaft in NZ - at a depth of 829m. Not much left to see now as the buildings long ago collapsed and the site was subject to a massive clean up operation (clearing up Arsenic that was released from the ore when extracting gold). Interesting place to visit though, along with supporting ghost town of Waiuta.

"The continued PROHIBITION of Cannabis jeopardizes the health and well-being of Canadians MUCH MORE than does the substance itself."
(Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs, 2002)
In U.S. history, bootlegging, was the illegal traffic in liquor in violation of legislative restrictions on its manufacture, sale, or transportation, which was called the Prohibition. It started when the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution effected the national prohibition of alcohol from 1920 until its repeal in 1933.
This old truck reminded me of the type of vehicle the gangsters would use to transport homemade moonshine liquor from the back woods of the rural Midwestern states to the big cities.
