Hello an welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries: Backroads. In Part 1 of today's episode we travel down to the sleepy little river town of East Liverpool, Ohio and learn about what some people called the most dangerous place in America, Hell's Half Acre. This assortment of bars, brothels, outlaws and trouble became known as the bootlegging capitol of Ohio. Situated on the Ohio-Pa border, this place was a haven for criminals of all sorts. Learn about the tunnels, the stills, the fights and the shootings and find out why this was the location that Pretty Boy Floyd was traveling to avoid capture before he was gunned down in a nearby field.
