...ooops...just posted the link about the auction in the Real Life Organized Crime section. I haven't been on the boards for a while, and I didn't catch the posting here.
BAM_233, Dillinger was shot outside the Biograph Theater on Lincoln Avenue, just north of Fullerton Avenue, in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. I used to frequent the live music clubs in the neighborhood (Ratso's, Lounge Axe, Somebody Else's Troubles to name a few!) and my cousin had an apartment just across the street from the Biograph. I've been to the spot a few times, and much like the location of the St. Valentine's Day massacre, or a notable mobster's home, there's really no profound significance to the site. None-the-less, it's one of those "things to do" if you have the same fascination with organized crime as most everyone on the BB!
