Download or read book Try to Control Yourself written by Dan Malleck and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2012-05-10 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prohibition era of gangsters and bootleggers has captured our imagination. But what happened when the government turned the taps back on? Dan Malleck shows that, contrary to popular belief, post-prohibition Ontario was an age when the government struggled to please both the “wets” and the “dries.” Rather than pandering to temperance groups, officials sought to define and promote manageable drinking spaces in which citizens would follow the rules of proper drinking and foster self-control. Post-prohibition liquor control was not a restrictive regulatory force but rather something more pragmatic – a bureaucratic attempt to balance temperance with recognition that prohibition was unsustainable.
Download or read book Life for Me Ain t Been No Crystal Stair written by Susan Sheehan and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 7, 1984, Crystal Taylor gave birth to a baby boy whom she named Daquan. Crystal was only fourteen. She was living with a boyfriend whom she was too young to marry, and her mother was addicted to heroin and cocaine. So under the law, Crystal and Daquan became wards of New York State’s foster-care system—a sprawling, often slipshod web of boarding facilities, halfway houses, and paid surrogates that cares for almost 60,000 children. Life for Me Ain’t Been No Crystal Stair is the story of what happened to Crystal and Daquan, as well as to Crystal’s mother, who herself had grown up in various foster homes. It is a story of three generations of poverty, addiction, and abuse—and also a story of astonishing human resilience. And Susan Sheehan tells it with the same flawless observation, humor, and compassion that she brought to her classic Is There No Place on Earth for Me?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1916, the new Sunset Hotel is just what St. Petersburg, Florida, wants-a luxury hotel with a quiet, genteel atmosphere. The older, well-to-do clientele expect it to remain that way; but change, whether it is desired or not, is always inevitable. When Clara Loughlin arrives at the hotel it is obvious she is not the typical guest. The young newlywed believes in experiencing life and embracing new ideas. She happily watches as the serene, uneventful area around the hotel transforms into a place where people come for fun, excitement, and even illegal activities. Clara, who is anything but quiet and retiring, befriends tin can tourists, con artists, baseball players and gangsters. She frequents speakeasies and hangs out with bootleggers while she shares the history of St. Petersburg. Clara learns that change isn't always positive. She watches her beloved Sunset Hotel fight for survival through the Depression, World War II, neglect, and abuse. The building survives each challenge and Clara is elated when it finally takes on new life as the Crystal Bay Hotel. Clara, in her continuing watch over her treasured hotel, becomes the guest who refuses to leave.

Download or read book Crystal Beach written by Gary Pooler and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-01-24 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The memories within the millions of people who experienced Crystal Beach, even just once, will never be lost.” One of Canada’s greatest entertainment centres existed for one hundred years in an isolated little village in one of the southernmost corners of Ontario, just across the lake from Buffalo, New York. Nicknamed “Buffalo’s Coney Island,” the Crystal Beach Amusement Park swarmed with American visitors in its mid-century glory days, and its stories were carried all over the world. A Crystal Beach resident since childhood, Gary Pooler takes readers behind the scenes of a world class amusement park, combining local history, sports journalism, true crime, and North American folklore to create a unique picture of the quirky Crystal Beach community, both in and “out of the park,” through its geographical and social history. These collected stories tell of the life and times in an amusement park resort community—a summer-long carnival, illegal prizefighting in the nearby sand hills, world class entertainers and athletes, featuring the likes of Jesse Owens, an eccentric traveling minstrel, vaudevillians settling in the village, police scandals, bootlegging, and even murder. Pooler chronicles the gradual decline and closure of the amusement park and the effect this had on the village, and illustrates the community’s triumphant renaissance in recent years. Harrowing and nostalgic, Crystal Beach: Out of the Park is a rare and vital historical record and a spirited exploration of Crystal Beach in all of its various shades and stages.
