GREEN LANTERN

In 1973, a report of St. Paul bars and restaurants included Ron Maddox’s Green Lantern, located

The club had a Roaring ’20s motif.  Liquor was served in heavy mugs, as it was in speakeasies.

Maddox noted that gangsters in the 1920s tended to be vain in their appearance, and they spent a lot of time in barber chairs, so he put one in the club.  Men could get shaves during the day.  (Minneapolis Tribune, December 3, 1973)

The club lasted until at least 1976.
