Why are celebrating Tanner Smith?
- Tanner Smith was born and raised on the West Side of Manhattan at the turn of the 20th century.
- He was a boisterous youth who would go on to be the leader of the Marginal Gang.
- His career, along with his gang affiliations, helped develop a character who was well versed in the illicit underground antics of NYC.
- Smith’s actions helped pave the way for bootleggers throughout the Prohibition era. He was closely associated with Owney Madden, owner of the famous Cotton Club, with both men owning and operating the Winona Club at West 47th and 10th Ave for a brief period of time.
- After being persuaded by his mother and sister to go straight and leave the criminal life behind, Tanner went onto become a successful local businessman.
- He later opened a neighborhood club to help keep the next generation out of trouble. Tanner Smith was seen as a modern day Robin Hood, a leader and peacemaker who gave back to the people of the West Side.
- In short….he was a bad ass
Happiness, $25 and under.
