Al Capone is also the main reason why expiration dates were put on milk cartons/bottles, because his niece grew ill due to tainted milk.. The Capone family actually had a big hand in the dairy industry in the 1930's.

@erickrohn2970 Год назад

Yeap he was hated and loved by people he had soup lines set up to feed the hungry aswell. And like you said he had expiration dates put on milk bottles. He was in the Dairy business and the liquor business good business man giving the people what they want lol

@Mikebuster Год назад

give thanks to Al Capone every breakfast time

@hugosophy Год назад

Yes. His brother Ralph was known as “Bottles” Capone because he owned a bottling plant and was involved in the business as a cover.

I always remember the poor dog that was there during the massacre. His name was Highball and he belonged to John May the mob members mechanic who was also killed. It was his constant barking that brought neighbors to the gruesome scene. He was so traumatized they eventually had to put him down. Today would be a different story but being it was 1929...Sad.

@dougspidermanhappy Год назад

I lived in Chicago for years, and I often heard people talk about how dogs were skittish in that part of the street, even refusing to walk past the area, even though the garage itself was gone.

My husband and I just took a trip to Las Vegas and visited the Mob Museum. We saw the brick wall, some photos of the massacre and some of the bullets that we’re removed from the bodies. The museum was pretty interesting, there’s a lot to see. I recommend visiting there if you’re in Las Vegas.

Great vid. A historian girl on PBS’s “History Detectives” got to shoot one of the two Thompson machine guns ballistically linked to the massacre. she was trying to verify if a shotgun she was investigating was the one also used. She made a compelling case that it was.

@jayde.moonstone.6458 Год назад

My cousin has worked there for 11 years & unfortunately people mess with it CONSTANTLY. 2x/week a crew is dedicated to adding grass/grass seed, or adjusting the mud in front of his grave (due to weather.) Soooo many people constantly visit his stone (among others, but he's obviously #1) IDK why they made his grave so easy to get to and access, but the traffic never slows down. I have family buried there and it never fails to get worse around the holidays when people are going to visit their loved ones. I guess they feel like "hey, why not check out Capones grave while were here...."

@marthaboswell9720 Год назад

I am intrigued by the mobsters of the 20s and 30s. I grew up in Dallas, Texas. We lived a mile from Bonnie Parker’s old school. A bunch of us kids would go to that school and play around not knowing it’s history.

@robertschuster3528 Год назад

When the Massacre site was being demolished in 1967 or 1968,the demolition crew was giving away some of the bricks.My Family had two of them.The site itself was up for Landmark Status,but then Mayor Daley demanded it be torn down.Daley didn,t want any reminders of Capone in Chicago.Mr.Capone himself actually might still be buried at Mt.Olivet.According to historians and my High School History teacher.The Grave stone at Queen of Heaven might be a Cenopath.Who really can say where he really is?Great Video Mike and Jessica,great seeing videos from My old hometown.

There was a fence in front of the site where the garage was that was knocked down when lightning fell a tree near it earlier this year. I hope the reason that it hasn't been replaced is that they're planning to sell the lot for a condo or something. That's a sacred spot in Chicago.

Very cool place, lots of Capone stuff to see there. Good food too!

@denniswoods518 Год назад

There’s a house here in Fontana that Capone supposedly live in for a while. It has a big C on the chimney. Not sure if it’s true or not, but my wife and I have driven out to the house. It’s fenced off now because a family currently owns it, but you can still get a clear view of it from the street.

@joelampo1 Год назад

Stephen Graham's portrayal of Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire is some of the best acting I've ever seen. That being said, much of what was shown in that show is dramatized with factual events. But showing Capones family life was a nice twist. It really gave you a better idea of what Capone really was. He wanted to create an empire. And he did it. And honestly, if you were just a regular "joe" and not a gangster, no one was afraid to walk the streets with Capone in charge. It was after his demise, that Chicago started falling apart. Capone took care of his people. How he made his money was one thing, but he did do a lot of good things that people forget about.
