Spurred on by early car culture and strict liquor laws, places like the Spanish Castle, The Jungle and The Black Cat sprang into being. Commonly called roadhouses, many of these remote outposts existed along two newly-built and parallel stretches of county highways - far from the prying eyes of city police. Fabled speakeasy operator, Doc Hamilton founded some of the earliest of these hideaways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoin authors Peter Blecha and Brad Holden as they uncover the fascinating era of forbidden nightclubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765793095968,"sku":"9781467150736","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f5b18afe0790e4c00ffd0ae99ca3bfcd.webp?v=1780280138","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/lost-roadhouses-of-seattle-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
