Grim Philly

From poisoned liquor to mass bribery and criminal activity among Philadelphia police and the mayor – failing attempts to curb the death rate and corruption in Prohibition Philadelphia are brought in to the light by Criminologist Dr. Favian Martin, Professor of World History Joe Wojie, and Historians Britnee Smith and Ted Sisco. Bartender mixology in the era of prohibition period cocktails are mixed in to a more serious sociological mix of The Mayor's Office to thwart reform efforts of Smedley Darlington Butler, Grim Philly’s so-called Batman in 1920’s Gotham Philadelphia. Neighboring New Jersey’s similar sentiment among corrupt public servants and a thirsty citizenry joined to thwart federal attempts at enforcement throughout the Garden State and it’s capital city in kind.
