Part Two... Response to questions about Chicago generated from Part One

AL CAPONE America's best known gangster and the single greatest symbol of the collapse of law and order in the United States during the 1920s Prohibition era.

Capone controlled speakeasies, bookie joints, gambling houses, brothels, horse and race tracks, nightclubs, distilleries and breweries at a reported income of $100,000,000 a year.

Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre four Capone men entered the main liquor headquarters of bootlegger George "Bugs" Moran's North Side gang dressed as police. The men in the garage thought it was a police raid. They dropped their guns and put their hands against the wall. The Capone men fired more than 150 bullets into the victims. Moran, probably the real target, was across the street when Capone's men arrived and stayed away. As usual, Capone had an alibi; he was in Florida.

Chicago Fire October 8, 1871, just after nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the barn behind the home of Patrick and Catherine O'Leary. How the fire started is still unknown today, but an O'Leary cow often gets the credit.O'Leary cow

At least 300 people were dead 100,000 people were homeless $200 million worth of property was destroyed The entire central business district of Chicago was leveled.

Remarkably, some buildings did survive the fire, such as the then-new Chicago Water Tower, which remains today as an unofficial memorial to the fire's destructive power.Chicago Water Tower

Stockyard To build the stockyard, a consortium of nine railroad companies purchased a 320-acre area of swampy land in southwest Chicago for $100,000 in Using Chicago as a hub, this new stockyard would serve as a commercial link between America's East and West.

Employed more than 25,000 people Produced 82 percent of the meat consumed in the United States. The packinghouses made lucrative use of slaughterhouse by- products such as leather, soap, fertilizer, glue, imitation ivory, gelatin, shoe polish, buttons, perfume, and violin strings.

The working conditions were abhorrent. Laborers on the killing floors had to work amidst the stench and piercing shrieks of animals being slaughtered while standing on blood- soaked floors. They worked ten to twelve hours a day-in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees in the summertime.
