The dance feels like a throwback to the Gold Rush days, when such gatherings really started going gangbusters. The popular dances back then were reels and jigs, but over the years other dances entered the mix: Jitterbug, swing, two-step, waltz and foxtrot. But the old days are not lost.

Blue Central has gone back to the Prohibition era, with a modern twist. Pictures of rock 'n' roll icons line the bar, lit by vintage-style Edison light bulbs. The cocktails include pop culture-inspired mixes alongside Prohibition-era favorites. Even getting in to the bar is an event -- requiring a phone booth, password and an unmarked door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57c9b16eff7c5047495b5f10/1563485108399-PDYG6ANLUHEEWBBR893G/image-asset.jpeg portfolio - Alaska Green Cross celebrates marijuana legalization day At a party in this liberal, free-spirited enclave, pot enthusiasts celebrated both the groundbreaking legal change and the broader societal shift toward the acceptance of marijuana use.
