Great read as always!

On Jerry Scalise, I think he actually went to St. Ignatius and went to college for a while before coming back to Chicago. And I laughed my ass off watching him being paid by Michael Mann as a "consultant" on the set of "Public Enemies" and talking about the thrill of a score.

Someone should try to track down the series of stories that Paul Panzko wrote to the Chicago Tribune in the early 1980s. Really genuine accounts of guys like Willie Potatoes and the burglary crews.
