I drive by the location where the flower shop was (its a parking lot of a dunkin donuts now) and the cathedral at least once a week on my delivery route 👍
Next time you drive past, if you have time, have a look at the side of the cathedral on Superior Street. There’s still a bullet hole from the Hymie Weiss hit apparently. I’d love to visit one day!
Excellent job retelling history without any errors and in an entertaining manner. You are making a name for yourself with me and I'm sure many others with your expertise. I look forward to your next post. Liked, Subscribed and all Notifications activated.
When I learnt about O’Banion initially, I made sure to learn about his crew. They didn’t reach the heights of the Chicago Outfit, but did pose problems for Capone and his men🤔

Not a proud side of my Chicago Irish history. My great grandfather told me that he was a brutal psychopath. Let’s talk about history, but let’s not celebrate it.
This is excellent! I've never seen or read anything so thorough a recollection of Deane o'banion. Very well researched an enjoyable listen. 🎉🎉🎉😊
You’re the goat of this gangster documentary genre man
Thank you mate!
Goat? Why not cat or dog or sheep?
@@dr.barrycohn5461Greatest of all time
Seen versions of Deanie's story before. This one is among the best - if not thee best !
Thank you I really appreciate it! Took me a few weeks to just write the script alone so really glad you enjoyed!

The 1967 flick, The St.Valentine's Day Massacre is one of my favorite movies based on gangland Chicago in the 1920's
O’Banion and the Northside Gang don’t get talked about enough, everything is about Al Capone. These are the guys Capone was scared of.
Hymie Weiss in particular. The man was fearless, and gave Al Capone nightmares.

Chicago has had some colorful criminals from Dion O Banion to 051 Melly. Two charming psychopaths always laughing at shit
I had no idea Haley Joel Osment was a gangster.
Been Sharing your amazing work with family and friends. So entertaining.
Very interesting thank you

A very good and detailed documentary! ❤️👍
It wasn’t actually obanion who executed the horse, it was his fellow cowboy/gangster Louis Altieri
Very interesting - although according to Eliot ness’s book the untouchables his name was dion…Deanie????
Dion is the Irish spelling of Dean. He went by Deanie.
Deanie was a real 1. The Murderous President of Tha Plumbers Union!!!!! 😅😅😅😅😅😅 You had me cracking up. Keep Up Tha Great Work. 👍
Weird how murderous psychopaths hold onto to their Catholic faith.
It's messed up, but true.
A gangster with a penchant for animal cruelty. Poor horse!
Were those kids clamming in the scene about Maroa?
I can see it out of my window. 😊
He ended up a broken man.
My man looks like Steve Bannon, Trump's Propagandist.
Sounds like the Democrat party
Why bring your trashy politics into a documentary? Get an education before you prove yourself ignorant.
Democrat Mafia
A brit talking about us history. Oy! At least say the names correctly.
Which ones weren’t correct?
