Does anyone know anything about Prohibition in Westminster? I used to hear stories about a little rum-running up on the Kurkul’s hill, and a buried (and lost) jug up there that was concealed while the Revenuers were in hot pursuit. Richard Michelman tells me the house next to him was a “tea house” called The Black Cat, and that it was a speak-easy. But that’s all I know. Anyone remember hearing any stories?
