No problem, gets. And yeah, I think I've seen BF mention him and the author before. Its funny because I think it was Toodoped who posted a picture of Roe in the rare photos thread and I made a statement about he could pass for Italian. That was before I ever knew he was born to a black mother and an Italian father. Seems even the police assigned to catch him liked the guy. One officer said he was a gentleman gangster and wasn't the flamboyant, loud and flashy type. A half Italian African American living on the Southside of Chicago , and refusing to concede his business to the Italians, the predominant force in organized crime at the time. The guy deserves a movie about his life.

And that's his house in the second photo, I think the other two buildings on the side are later additions. Picturing the house by itself, as it's described, as a mansion, it's freaking huge. He clearly made the best of his business.
