Gangsters welcome

Charge them any more and you'd be toast! This is a plaque from inside the Wabasha Caves in St. Paul from a time when the caves were a speakeasy for the gangsters. Of course, there were a few rules that you had to abide by. But for this money, who wouldn't?

Mobsters from outside Minnesota, who found a safe haven in St. Paul thanks to the police chief in the late 30s, have used the caves as a hideout and then as a watering hole as America came out of prohibition.
