I found two more pages that I liked on Chippepedia. They are entitled “The Pines Ballroom” and “Sokup’s Tavern and Dance Hall”. These are two dance halls that opened up right after prohibition. This gives evidence to me that maybe prohibition had backfired? And now drinking was going to be at an all time high? That is what I thought these pages would give me a good lead into.
These buildings gained popularity very quickly, hosting weddings, gatherings, parties, etc. It is no surprise that the aftermath of prohibition would cause people to go party-crazy. The Pines Ballroom would often be booked for years in advance on Saturdays for wedding receptions. These places would both host bands and dances that gave people something to do.
I like that these sources give information about dance halls and bars coming to be following directly after prohibition, but I would like to learn more about it. I want to know about other bars and more local to the Eau Claire area. I want to know what happened during prohibition, not only after. I will need to leave the Chippepedia website and look into other credible sources.
This seems like a good source, but you should describe more about the pages and how they answer you question. You also want to relate this source to your previous source. How do you feel about his source do you think it is a good source or that it gives you more o research about to get more information from a different source.
That’s really cool that you found information about the dance halls. I could imagine that after prohibition the parties would be pretty crazy. I think that its a good idea that you go off and find a different website. Do you think that this source is credible? I agree that you should learn more about local bars during prohibition. Going off and finding a different source I think will definitely help you.
I also agree that finding a different website/source would be a good idea. Maybe explain more on how the articles helped answer your questions. Maybe mention who wrote them and provide some context in that way too.
Nice facts and information about dance halls. I’m not that into drinking and i don’t really know how it feels to “go crazy” just a thought. When was this information in the website released? Did this lead to prohibition because people started getting drunk and creating any chaos? You have good explanation on how this leads to prohibition but it would give your audience better understanding if you can include more about this source and explain your source a bit more. Nice work.
