Hamtramck's population bulged to 56,000 from a mere 3,500 in the
early twentieth century, a sixteen-fold increase that created the
perfect environment for crime and corruption to flourish.
Post-Prohibition, bars sprang up in quick order, until there were
at least two hundred within this wide-open town's 2.1 square miles,
giving it more bars per capita than any other city in America; even
the Dodge brothers served barrels of beer to their workers. Follow
local historian Greg Kowalski through the underbelly of Hamtramck,
from the "painted women openly flaunting their tainted charms from
undraped windows" to the nefarious plots crafted behind the walls
of the International Workers Home on Yemens Street. Welcome to the
height of Hamtramck's infamy, where anything could happen--for a
price.
