Good morning, Whitewater
Common Council meets tonight at 6:30 p.m.
The Wisconsin Historical Society reports that on this day in 1958, women could lawfully drink while standing at a bar:
1958 – Janesville Women Belly Up to the Bar
On this date the Janesville city council voted 4-2 to finally end a paternalistic and discriminatory ordinance that prohibited women from drinking at the bar. Since the end of Prohibition in 1933, women had been banned from being served while standing at the bar in Janesville taverns.
There’s a P.A.T.T. meeting at Washington School tonight at 6:30 p.m.
