Over the years, there were numerous articles detailing the confiscation of slot machines. One I remember is an arrest of white Horse's Andy Gropp for having a few units in his establishment. I love to play the slots, but I don't; knowing that I would become addicted to that tempting possibility of hitting it big.

1932: POLICE DESTROY ILLEGAL SLOT MACHINES
Over the years, there were numerous articles detailing the confiscation of slot machines. One I remember is an arrest of white Horse's Andy Gropp for having a few units in his establishment. I love to play the slots, but I don't; knowing that I would become addicted to that tempting possibility of hitting it big.
Is this Andy Gropp the same one that had the gym in the late 50s and 60s? Can remember working out there after work at the Highway Dept back then. It was a really new concept and he had the best equipment.
ReplyDeleteNO. THE ANDY TO WHOM YOU REFER WAS A MUCH YOUNGER MAN. THIS IS THE ANDY GROPP OF THE 1930 ERA.
