Organization Backstory (Min. of 250+ Words & any images): In the year 1918 shortly after the end of the Great War, my grandpa returned home to Manhattan New York from war as a broken man. He would drink all day and abuse his kids, one of those being my father. Throughout my fathers childhood. my grandpa would frequently visit a bar which developed a strong relationship between him and the bar owner. He would spend days and nights there sometimes returning home past midnight. With my grandma sick in bed with the Spanish Flu, my dad being the oldest of three had to be the father figure. Between taking care of his sick mother and two of his siblings, he had his hands full. Unfortunately my grandma never recovered from the Spanish Flu and ended up passing away not too long after she had gotten it. This hit the whole family hard, especially my grandpa. On top of heavy drinking, my grandpa would threaten to end his life while waving his revolver around the house. My dad would try to calm him down the best he could but would usually end up getting pistol whipped. Fast-forwarding to a few years later, my grandpa came home the happiest he has ever been since before he was sent to war. He explained how the bar owner and him had been such good friends that the bar owner had left the property to my grandpa in his will. The bar owner was nearing the end of his life and my grandpa knew it which in return made him happier. He would tell his family that every that day goes by he is closer to the life he's always wanted. Nearing the 1930s, the bar owner had passed away granting the business to my grandpa. Although my grandpa was making more money than he used to, his kids never saw any of it. My dad saw that he would have to make a move to make sure him and his siblings had what they needed to survive so he asked my grandpa if he would be able to work at the bar for a salary. My grandpa looked at my dad and laughed in his face denying his request. While looking for means to supply income to his household, My father stumbled upon a gunsmith. He went in and befriended the gun owner, after a few weeks of communication he was offered a job by the shop owner. This is where he learned how to assemble and disassemble all sorts of firearms, this man became like a second father to my father. While all of this was going on, my grandfather was incurring a large amount of debt with local crime families without telling my father or his siblings. In the year 1969, my grandfather was shot dead outside the bar; the killers were never found. Upon his death, the deed to the bar was transferred to my father, he ended up running the bar. I was born in 1965, and when i turned 15 years old i began working in the back of the bar cleaning and fixing weapons for patrons and the gang members we owed money to. In 1983 my father died due to a heart attack and ended up leaving me the bar, The bar had legal debts at this time which i had no means to repay. I ended up burning down the bar to collect the insurance money and ended up in the Cocaine and Gun dealing trades. After a terrible stint as a member of the Garrity Crime family in New York, My brothers and i fled to Miami to reopen The Garrison Bar and bring along all of our trade secrets, especially when it comes to Cocaine and Gun Manufacturing/Sales.
Looking for a vacant storefront to run Guns/Drugs out of.

+1 Detailed and original backstory, I feel like this would be an awesome addition to Miami as many of the stores are empty. I also like the idea of a gang running guns.
