The History behind Teen Canteens
During World War II, many cities and towns were trying to curb the growing juvenile delinquency problem resulting from a lack of recreational facilities for teenagers.
Naturally there was entertainment. There was always a jukebox or record player and a dance floor (there had to be space for dancing the Swing, Bop or Twist). Add in a pingpong table, plenty of Coca-Cola and you had yourself a teen canteen.
