During prohibition, all summer long the insulated warehouse that lake ice was stored in had a stash of illegal booze in the centre. I met the town's bootlegger from that era in the 80s when I was a kid mowing lawns at the seniors citizen's complex and he was an only happy and rather well respected guy in his 80s.<BR/><BR/>Alan<BR/>A Good Beer BlogGenX at 40https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691873959881169457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-50874786531298568682007-09-06T05:17:00.000-07:002007-09-06T05:17:00.000-07:00It may sound funny now, but ice was actually a maj...It may sound funny now, but ice was actually a major export article for Norway until electricity came along and ruined everything.Knut Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330987617984777530noreply@blogger.com
