However Terrific Street's dominance was short lived, and would slowly come to an end by 1921 after the momentum of a reform movement and a newspaper's crusade caused dancing and women to be forbidden from its many dance halls and cafes. The final blow to Terrific Street's popularity came when Prohibition was passed in 1920 and stopped the flow of alcohol to its dance halls and saloons. After prohibition that block lost much excitement and its dance halls and cabarets were gradually replaced by offices, hotels, and warehouses.
