Capone's old home on Chicago's South Side, which I don't believe he spent much time in, will be for sale soon, the Chicago Tribune reported last night.
Capone's mother lived in the home until 1952, "Scarface Al" died of complications from syphilis in 1947.
Chicago and Illinois were very corrupt places during Capone's 1920s heyday. The one-time leader of the Chicago Outfit would feel at home working with our governor, Rod Blagojevich.
