Davenport's Bucktown in 1903: "Worst Town in America" Online
Note: This event will still go on as scheduled, despite the library's early closing!
A 1903 editorial in the Chicago Record-Herald claimed our very own Davenport swiped New York City's title as the "Worst Town in America." Booze...debauchery...Bucktown could fulfill any illicit desire 24-hours per day.
We invite author Jonathan Turner for a homegrown turn-of-the-century TMZ episode.
