These pics were taken at Whites Restaurant in Windsor located coincidently adjacent and connected in the basement by tunnel to the infamous "Elbow Room" that frequented the likes of John Dillinger, Detroit`s Purple Gang and on occasion Capone himself. It was a raid on the Elbow Room that partly was responsible for the suspensions of Lions Alex Karras and Packers Paul Hornug due to NFL betting. The Elbow Room was typical of every smoky dungeon of prohibition style poolroom you saw in old movies. It was housed in the basement of a 2 floor bowling alley complete with escape route to the alley or thru the basement of the restaurant next door. Habs Players and Leafs players alike stayed in Canada at the Elmwood Casino(Windsor) when playing the Wings in Detroit and often filtered their way into downtown and on to the Elbow Room.
