MichealRyerson said,Clara Street was the epicenter of the plague back in the 1920s.
this is from the early days of the thread.
"Grocery near Clara St. where first plague-infested rat was found."

Back to the gambling machines. What do you think they did with the machines after they busted them up?
My guess is that they buried them on the spot. Anyone have a metal detector?................... and a jackhammer.
