| The image above is of Broad Street Station in Philadelphia, PA. It is one of the suspected cities of Gatsby's "drug business." In reality, Gatsby ran drug stores, which were occasionally fronts for bootleggers because the stores were allowed to sell whiskey by prescription. The station is a replica of a building in the Gilded Age where extravagant architecture dominated the landscape. |
