OverviewTHE 1920'S. A TIME OF EXCITEMENT AND TUMULTUOUS SOCIAL CHANGE. The horrors of World War One have passed, receding into history and the Great Depression has yet to come. In the bubble of relative calm, the city prospered as her citizens went about their lives. Ineffective social welfare led to crushing poverty and low-level crime.
