An interesting story appeared in today's news involving an auto repair shop and a bar, the problem was they were the same place. The shop was a rented garage that was filled with anything but mechanical tools and repair equipment.
A citizen complaint sparked an investigation of the repair shop that led to its police raid. Multiple people were sitting at a bar enjoying their alcoholic beverages when the raid took place, seemingly having a good time.
Obviously the act was illegal considering there was selling of alcohol without a license, along with numerous hazards. The question I ask is what drove the owner of the "bar" to do everything illegally? The idea of the bar in an undercover repair shop reminds me of the speakeasies in basements and below businesses of the 1920's. Sure some paper work would be necessary, as well as a proper building, but it isn't an impossible feat. It even seems as if he already had a wide variety of customers considering about a dozen people were at the bar drinking.
Is this a reaction to overly expensive bar drinks or, a simple way deviated to make a couple extra bucks?
