Hey guys,

Let me start off by saying I'm not really all that interested in Al Capone. I'm from Illinois, so he's really the only gangster people talk about here. I just grew bored with him before I really knew anything about him.

That being said, I was reading a little about him last night. I knew the basics; Prohibition, St. Valentine's Day Massacre, "Scarface", etc. But I never knew his reign only lasted seven years. I couldn't believe that. I mean, I'm sure there a few bosses whose time lasted shorter than that, but for as big of a legend he is....I was like wow.
