The bars rocked. There were no high-brow lounges with mahogany snugs. Nor were there any trendy whiskey bars, or gin palaces where they poured strawberry gin from china tea pots into china cups. But they were alive and happy. I never heard an angry exchange. Brotherly and sisterly love was all around, a sort of snowbound San Francisco.
