It makes researching really fun and easy. Awesome matchbooks by the way! The Tropics sounds like it was a little rough and seedy. 1942-Jack Bain band leader and democratic nominee for State Legislature was denied a restaurant and service license. 1943-Jack Bain arrested for serving alcohol without a license. Released on $250 bail 1944-Jack Bain received a $100 suspended fine for violating fire code. He had opened the windows and allowed patrons to throw cigarettes out onto the awnings below. 1944-Jack Bain sued by bartender Helen Jensen for a personal injury. She states that she was trying to remove a drunk patron at 4am on Jan 1, 1944 and she was kicked in the groin. 1945-Bartender robbed at gunpoint by two men of the nights receipts of $200. I couldn't find anything that described the interior or entertainment
