Detroit - A city that is not to be considered a small town is mentioned by Gatsby in a brief but revealing phone call. In this call, Gatsby is irritated with having his visit with Daisy interrupted. He alludes to the fact that he is looking for a small town in which to do something. Perhaps he was thinking of expanding his "business" to a small town to keep obscurity. The train yards in the picture would be an example of another spot that bootleggers could stash their "merchandise" as well as make deals with others. Taken in the Twenties, the picture depicts how the transportation boom had a great impact on the movement of the age. These trains would take people to parties and then back home to the countryside. |
