St Louis Secrets- Pt 4- Beer Gardens & a Shoe Co, cover for bootlegging during Prohibition

**If you look at all the old locations of the International Shoe Company (ISCO) in St Louis, you come to discover that several were built on top of old brewery locations that had known beer caves; at least two with underground railroads. They follow a path north along Jefferson Ave until they reach the McKinley bridge that provides rail access across the river. One location, now the City Museum, is off track & lies perpendicular to Jefferson on Washington Ave, which leads directly to the Eads Bridge (the first train bridge to cross the Mississippi River from Missouri to Illinois) & the old Tucker Tunnel not many know about. **

St Louis had over 100 breweries before Prohibition made alcohol illegal in 1920. This new law triggered an explosion of organized crime, creating the Mafia. Caves/tunnels were used to hide the illegal transportation & consumption of alcohol.

Lemp & Anheuser Busch were the biggest breweries at the time of Prohibition. Lemp suddenly closed & sold their empire to ISCO for a cheap price, claiming to have just given up (although they just made upgrades to their brewery worth over a million dollars- including to their tunnels).

Not far away, on Washington Avenue, the City Museum in St Louis was also once a location for the International Shoe Company (ISCO). Washington Ave used to be known as “shoe street USA” because it “claimed more shoe trade than any other street in the world.” They became the nation’s largest shoe producer & the US government’s largest supplier of footwear during WW2.

A large part of being a successful, big manufacturer is the ability to efficiently ship goods. Railroads were a very efficient shipping option at this time (especially for long distances) & it is noted that Washington Ave was such a successful commercial district because of how close it was to the Eads bridge. This bridge exits Missouri from a tunnel under Washington Ave. However, the tunnel turns before it reaches the City Museum. What was the shipping process for ISCO- where did they load their shoes onto the trains?

I explain some key details about the beer caves beneath the ISCO route.

I also found an article talking about hidden basements under Washington Ave that someone accidentally found after falling through the sidewalk. When a construction company looked into filling the basements, they were told not to investigate any further & there should be no publicity about it.

Is it possible all the ISCO locations connected by an Underground Railroad? Keep watching my videos for more supporting evidence.
