I have read that during Prohibition Elmira gained national notoriety when it was discovered that one of the breweries had parallelled the City sewer system with piping that carried illegal beer right into the illegal speakeasies. Does anyone know if these speakeasy establishments were in a central area(that would have much easier for the brewery to accomplish distribution), or whether they were spread out in various parts of the City? If they were in a central area where they might have been located. Were the breweries on the North side or the South side of the river? I have been told that there were speak easys on River Street west of Main St. Is there anyone out there that has either researched or heard passed down stories about the corruption and "party time" atmosphere that existed in Elmira in the roaring 20's.
