I took the image above in the Mob Museum in Las Vegas. It shows the brick wall where seven men lead by supposed police officers, lined up in a row to meet their bloody demise in Chicago on February 14th 1929. (the museum rebuild the wall brick by brick)
The wall rests behind a plate of glass. Holes penetrated to represent the locations where the bullets hit the wall. (also visable)
I'm not here to teach on the murderous affair. Countless movies and book examined the event well enough. My purpose here is to share a small part of the history with you today.
As a extra morsel, the museum is held in a former Las Vegas Court house. I remeber being there. I closed my eyes and imagined the history, The mafiosi, the tales that hardly a handfull of individuals can hold knowlaege.
There is so plenty more to share and if I have the chance I pledge to search through my old photographs and create more detailed blog post.
