The Untouchables movie is in large part fiction. About some of the only factual parts of the movie were the fact that Elliot Ness, Frank Nitti, and Al Capone existed and Elliot Ness was trying to put Capone away.

With that said, it's cool to go by some of the places where they filmed the movie. Every Sunday night when I took the train back from visiting my fiance (now wife) in Bloomington, IL, I'd walk up the stairs at Union Station.

The bar in the opening of the movie has changed a lot. It is now covered with rusting metal plates and is now called the Twisted Spoke. It's at the corner of Clark and Roscoe under the 'L'.


I came, I saw, I had no idea what was going on, I left.
