Having lived in Chicago for 20 years, I ate many times at the Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder (still there) that was located across Clark St. and a few buildings north. On the menu, they even claimed that occupants of their building, most likely witnessed the massacre.....!<br />I believe the warehouse in which said event occured, has been replaced by a 60's era apartment building. The building just south of the massacre warehouse though, still stands, and it's exposed brick sidewall would have been side to side with the warehouse wall that the gang was lined up against, and gunned down!<br />The pizza restaurant has excellent deep dish pizza, and has been a Chicago landmark since the early 1970's.<br />Thanks for the bit of Chicago history, and nostalgia!Don Lamperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033476212606822358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-37282564976412175502016-02-15T04:14:04.291+11:002016-02-15T04:14:04.291+11:00Excellent post Robert.

I guess I'll need to stick to a typewriter rather than the weapon since I do not have a FFL which is needed to add (not even carry or shoot it) a fully automatic firearm to a collection. Then criminals have no problem getting that which is not legal.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.com
