I do suspect, and this is just speculation, that the levee was a place of assignation, a cruising spot. Unfortunately the records don’t list particulars for those cases. I don’t know if there were saloons or halls that catered to gays back before prohibition, but I do know that in the police records there was one or two arrests per year for ‘impersonating a female”.
Daytonology was visiting Sacramento during Pride Month, so a belated Gay Pride thread for Dayton, doing some Gay History (and, yes, there is such a thing)
