This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Drunks Coming From Maple Park to DeKalb in 1918
From the November 21, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1918, 100 Years Ago.
"Saturday and Sunday seemed to be busy ones for the police as there were several drunks arrested Saturday night and early Sunday morning, many coming back on the last car from the nearby oasis, Maple Park.
"The fellows given a chance to sober up at the city bastille and Monday morning were before the police court and assessed the usual fine for such misdemeanors.
Maple Park Was A Major Destination for NIU Students in the 1970s for the Same Reason. --DaDrunk
