Another Northside Story


Dad shared another story about the area near Lambros. There used to be a speakeasy named the Green Goose. The owners had a big Packard with bulletproof windows (Dad always adds the car description!) The driver would go to Erie during Prohibition and obtain stock from Canada. When the Feds came in to break up the the stock they poured the “hootch” in the gutters. Many people gathered downstream, near Grandma and Grandpap’s to catch a free drink. I asked Aunt Ann about the Green Goose, she lit up and started laughing about this memory.
