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.
You're from IL so people are going to talk about him as he's more well known and first comes to mind when people think of Chicago.
