My great-grandparents in the door of their rural Michigan barbershop/beauty salon/pool hall/home, c. 1940. They made it through the Depression by being the only beauty salon in town that would serve sex workers and brewed beer in the basement during Prohibition.

Coolest people in town
Good people
Love the background story. Thank you for sharing
The barbershop is actually still in business in the same building, owned by a distant relative.
This is awesome!
Great grandpa mac daddy right there… he looks like a cool dude.
You had badass great-grandparents… you could write a television series about them! (And you should)
Hopefully they still serve all. Badass energy!
I bet there’s some kick-ass stories related to that building and that business. Would love to have chatted with him back in the day.

What kind of barbershop, beauty salon, and pool hall serves sex workers and brewed beer during prohibition? The best damn barbershop, beauty salon and pool hall in town!
I only heard this recently but is prostitution really illegal in America?
Look like Red and Kitty Forman from That 70’s Show!
Men sure put the effort in back then, proper dapper
So basically they were gangsters
