Yesterday TribLocal ran a story on how distillers and brewers have their eye on Evanston, IL as a new home.  Evanston is the former home of Frances Willard, a champion of this pesky thing called Prohibition.  Evanston has residually embraced a certain degree of anti-alcohol mentality.  More than once I have heard, “You think Chicago’s liquor laws are bad head up to Evanston.”  Distillers and brewers alike point out this is an excellent way to create a few jobs, but more likely to drive visitors to the city.

Read the full article here.  Please if your a resident of Evanston make sure you tell your elected officials how you feel about this.
