The notorious Purple Gang...

Interesting bit of history and excellent shots of the locale.
In my younger days, I myself was a member of the one eyed one horned flying purple people eater gang.
Capone didn’t fear us.

While in the Navy in the early 50s I was at the Great Lake Naval Station for school. In Chicago I took a tour that showed us where the mass murder took place. You could see the holes in the wall from the machine guns. The gangs seem to control everything.
They certainly did control most, buy buying off politicians and police...thank you for commenting!!

Took a day trip to Clare Michigan, where the Purple Gang of the 20's occasionally hung out! It is reported that even Capone feared this gang because they were so ruthless! Shots include the Doherty Hotel, where their lawyer was killed, and the Cops and Doughnut bakery, restaurant, memorabilia store..(excellent baked goods)!!
