i believe so. the woman who was renting it out said the midwest.


There are other midwestern states (besides Illinois) that have towns named Cicero, but I'm betting it was Illinois. Cicero was to become one of the most crooked towns in the country (if not THE most crooked one) and that would leave it open for van Alden to go the dark side.


In the posted interview Terence Winter confirms that it is Cicero Illinois and that mob historians would pick up on the significance.



That would all make sense and would indicate that they will expand on the Capone character even tho, when I think Capone, I automatically think Chicago only.

Btw, since Van Alden's wife divorced him, I wonder if he'll end up with the babysitter. If I were her, I'd be scared of that guy and would never want to work for him. panic The guy's nuts.
