Established in 1924, Martha's Midway Tavern in Mishawaka, Indiana continues to operate today under the leadership of Martha and Cyriel Antheunes' daughter, Albertina Wassenhove. Though Prohibition once forced the tavern to offer alternative goods, it has endured and now offers a welcoming Belgian beer garden atmosphere and live blues music. Martha's renovation in 1933 added Belgian-inspired decor elements that still remain today, helping customers feel instantly at home in the tavern's friendly, historically interesting environment.

Martha’s midway tavern
Martha's Midway Tavern is a historic bar and dancehall established in 1924 in Mishawaka, Indiana. During Prohibition, the original owners Martha and Cyriel Antheunes sold food items like chicken and soda to stay in business, as well as bootlegged beer and whiskey from their garage. Although they made alcohol illegally, Martha said famous mobster Al Capone was just a nice, regular customer when he visited. The Antheunes family ran the business successfully until 1930 when they were arrested and exiled to Belgium for a year for liquor law violations. When Prohibition ended in 1933 they renovated the space and brought in musicians from around the area. Today the tavern remains much as it was historically

In the summer, the pub concept was moved outside through a simple but effective wooden plank and scaffolding structure. The pub gained attention from newspapers and musicians who referenced it in songs and videos due to its unique atmosphere.

The Running of the Bulls is an annual tradition held in Pamplona, Spain where bulls used for bullfighting are herded through the streets to the arena. It originated in the 1400s as a way to move bulls to market but became a competition where people test their bravery by running alongside the bulls. Today, the event still sees thousands of runners accompany six fighting bulls through the narrow streets as they make their way to the bullfighting ring, with injuries and occasional deaths occurring due to the danger involved. However, animal rights groups protest the tradition as cruel to the bulls.

El Albergo
The document describes the layout and history of buildings in a church complex in La Esmeralda, Mexico. It includes the convent, parish hall, and albergo (shelter). The albergo was built in 1975 to house elderly residents without family or means of support. It describes the first residents, don Abundio and don Silverio, and improvements made to the albergo over time like adding plumbing and electricity. In 1998, the albergo housed its first long-term resident, a man named Juan, who moved in and out as his health fluctuated until he passed away.
Uptown final
Uptown, founded in 1900, got its name from a store owner and became an entertainment destination as trains terminated there. It boomed in the 1920s with housing and venues, but the middle class left for suburbs in the 1950s. Large projects in the 1960s eliminated low-cost housing and southern white residents dispersed, as Asian, Hispanic and African American migrants moved in. The Uptown Theatre opened in 1925 as a massive movie palace, and the Green Mill cocktail lounge opened in 1907 and became known for jazz. Graceland Cemetery, established in 1860, is a large Victorian-era cemetery in Uptown designed with landscaped grounds.

Martha’s Midway Tavern

- 2. The original owners, Martha and CyrielAntheunes, purchased the Midway in 1924. It continues today, under the leadership of their daughter, Albertina. Martha and CyrielAntheunes AlbertinaWassenhove: Yesterday and Today
- 3. The Midway is located on a quiet side street in Mishawaka. The neighborhood, looking east, yesterday and today.
- 4. The neighborhood, looking West, yesterday and today.
- 5. Yesterday: Prohibition was in effect, so The Midway offered a variety of items to stay in business, including chicken, soda, cigars, and near-beer. Today: Unassuming from the outside, it looks deceivingly small and one may not guess the amazing music to be discovered inside.
- 6. Today: Through the front door lies a typical local pub with dusty floors and chrome-and-leatherette stools at the original mahogany bar. But the place feels instantly friendly and homey and you can sense immediately that it has an interesting history. Yesterday: Interesting details send customers back in time, such as the original cash register still used by the bartender today.
- 7. Cheers! Yesterday: Cyriel and Martha toasting…note the apron Martha always wore to conceal glasses of beer and liquor while she carried them from the garage behind the bar. Today: Martha – still toasting in 1988!
- 8. Martha and Cyriel had many loyal customers…including Al Capone! “He was just like any other customer. A nice guy, nice looking and good-hearted. But then later, well…he got in that bootleg business.” A group of loyal customers and friends behind the original dance hall.
- 9. The Antheunes family returns from a year in exile in Belgium after the Midway was padlocked due to a liquor law violation.
- 10. A relaxed group in front of the Midway.
- 11. When Prohibition was repealed, they remodeled to create an atmosphere of an outdoor Belgian beer garden. Stained glass inset in doors. When these doors are opened….
- 12. …you’re suddenly standing in a Belgian beer garden, listening to some of the best blues in the Midwest. The Belgian-influenced décor from Martha’s remodeling in 1933 remains today, including antique Belgian lamps.
- 13. Where customers have been enjoying great music for decades…
- 14. Musicians and customers from all over sign the wall surrounding the stage…
- 15. The 1905 Story & Clark piano on which musicians have played for decades!
- 16. Yesterday: Albertina on the Story & Clark Today: One of the regular blues players on the same piano…
- 17. After 66 years behind the Midway’s bar, Martha’s spirit is still there today…
