"This is probably cliché to say at this point, but the city does have grit. It has attitude, in a good way, and there's a strength to it in its people that I just absolutely love."

This is Halloween, and we're leaning into the spirits and haunts that make our city the special place it is today. Old Dominick has centuries worth of stories steeped into each spirit, and Backbeat Tours are the experts on historical haunts in the city. Alex Castle, master distiller at Old Dominick, and Meagan May, Vice President of Group and Event Sales at Backbeat Tours, join us today to share the intersection of how both tourism and whiskey in the 901 are steeped in history.

Resources mentioned in the episode include:

• Old Dominick Distillery history
• Backbeat Tours
• Mary at the Orpheum
• Earnestine and Hazel's ghost stories
• Green Beetle
• Machine Gun Kelly (not the rapper)
• Clayborn Temple
