"My name's John Dillinger, I rob banks"

After seeing the movie Public Enemy, by myself might I add, it was a little weird, I found out that I was moving to Chicago. Probably not the best movie to see, having just found that out, but oh well. When I FINALLY, got here, I saw that there was a self guided "gangster tour", that gave you three locations to drive to and see the places where events in the movie took place. I liked the movie so I decided to go on the tour.
The first place I went was Al Capone's grave site. It was at a cemetery called Mont Clare Cemetery about five minuets away from our house. Its was a really cool cemetery, there were tons of old gravestones and a lot of them were the big elaborate ones, it was really cool to see. It was a lot better than the bountiful cemetery, which I am used to so after wondering around for about and hour I finally found the Capone grave site. It was just really cool to stand there and see the grave of such an icon, it was a little freaky to be honest!

The second place I went was the Biograph theatre, where they finally caught John Dillinger as he was coming out of a movie and shot him as he walked down the sidewalk (you'll have to see the movie its really good). The theatre is actually still open to the public and running, it shows artsy films now though and the neighborhood surrounding it is very artsy and upscale, a lot different than how it was in the movie, but cool to see.

The last place I was suppose to go was the Union Station in the heart of downtown Chicago, were a lot of deals and trafficking happened. Unfortunately, after I almost got in three wrecks and there was no parking I decided to ride the train down another day and see it then. Stay posted for pictures from it though.

It was a cool experience to be able to stand right above Al Capone and to walk in the street where John Dillinger walked.
