There was a time in the 1940s when Baltimore?s so-called “milk bars” were such a problem that the City Council made a law designed to cast out their”evils.”

Called “milk bars” because they served nonalcoholic drinks ? allowing them to stay open between 2 and 6 a.m. ? the bars were ordered to have curfews after a 1947 grand jury report found them to have “objectionable features and evils.”
