Golden Era of the Green Door

The twenties were all about the sleek and sneaky lifestyle. With prohibition making the hard stuff illicit, those seeking glamorous twenties-style parties had to be ready to ride under the radar. People had all sorts of ways of getting around the authorities, this being so, a truly adorable slang was born. For example, a cocktail might be called giggle water and if you had a few too many, it was called getting zozzled. Anyone who wanted to partake in these activities knew to look for one thing. If a business (be it a shoe repair shop or pharmacy) had a green door in back, there was a Speakeasy behind it… the perfect place to find a roaring good time!
