Tommy Guns Garage 3
Too funny!
Tommy Gun Attacks On The Streets of Chicago, The Roaring 20's
The Thompson submachine gun or Tommy gun was named after inventor General JT Thompson. The gun was originaly nicknamed the trench broom as it was developed for trench warfare in WW1. It was introduced to the streets of Chicago on September 25, 1925 by southside gangster Frank Mc Erlane.
Mc Erlane was a member of the southside Saltis gang who were allied but not part of the Capone mob. Ironically enough he got the gun from northside hoodlum Dean O'Bannion shortly before his death. The Saltis gang was locked in a turf battle with fellow southsiders the Spike O'Donnel gang and the had already made other attempts on his life.
On that September morning Spike was standing at 63rd and Western talking to the cop on the beat when a car pulled up and a full side of almost a hundred bullets slammed into the building. But the assassins sped off leaving their hit a failure as O'Donnell survived. The police were baffled by what kind of weapon could have been used.
The Capone mob joined the machine gun parade in April of 1926 when he poured almost a hundred rounds into a Austin Ave. beauty shop owned by Pearl Hruby. They were trying to get her boyfriend James Fur Sammons and who was wounded and his partner Jim Doherty. They were gunmen for the west side Klondike O'Donnell (no relationship to Spike) gang that was moving into Capone's Cicero territory. The shop was on Austin just south of Cermak in the heart of Capone's Cicero territory. About three blocks from Capone's playhouse at 16th & Austin.
Shortly after that the Capone mob turned their chopper loose with more deadly results. In April O'Donnell was once again the target when Al Capone himself allegedly led the attack in front of the Pony In on 12th street in Cicero. A different, unrelated, O'Donnell this one named Klondike. He survived but three others were killed including assistant States Attorney William McSwiggins. Who was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people.

The Levee, Birthplace of Chicago's Organized Crime, The Chicago Vice Tour Pt.4
Also known as the most corrupt spot on the planet was an experiment in social engineering carried out by Hinky Dink McKenna and Alderman John Bath House Coughlin. They were a pair rouge Chicago politicians who thought the citizens of Chicago would be best served by concentrating vice in one or two areas,under their control. The Levy in the video was located between 19th & Cermak and Sate & Clark streets. It was created to move a smaller contained vice district just south of the rapidly developing downtown loop area. It was moved into a much larger area also to handle the expected crowds for the 1893 Columbian Exposition.
The Levee was just like the fair was a world-class exposition home to over two hundred brothels and saloons. With names like; The House of All Nations, The Little Green House, Bed Bug Row, the Bucket of Blood, The Why Not(the city's first S&M club), The Sapho, Freidberg's Dance Hall, and the Everleigh Club. The latter was a world renown sporting house operated the Everleigh sisters. And it was pimp and gangster Big Jim Colosimo who controled this area for McKenna and Coughlin. It operated in this pretty much wide open manner for almost twenty years. Then in 1912 a lurid, scathing report was issued called The Social Evil in Chicago and it effectively blew the lid off the Levee. The report in conjunction with a larger social movement for legally controlling vice spelled the end of the Levee.
And now even the streets where it once stood are now gone replaced by a towering senior citizens apartment complex. Of course the vice wasn't eliminated by closing down the Levee it just wasn't on such public display. The Levee made Mr. Colosimo a very wealthy and powerful man who kept his control over vice. In 1910 he opened a high-class restaurant Colosimo's Cafe at 2126 S. Wabash on the eastern fringes of his empire. If you've seen HBO's Boardwalk Empire then you know that this is where Big Jim was killed under orders of Johnny Torrio his second in command. The killing said to have been carried out by Al Capone.
Big Jims cafe is a memory in its place stands (lays?) the parking lot for a 1920's style dinner theater Tommy Guns Garage. One of the few places that pay homage to Chicago's unsavory past. They are well worth checking out here is a link to their site.
At any rate just down the street at 2222 S. Wabash Torrios headquarters The 4 Duces. Home to woman, whiskey and gambling. Imported by Torrio from New York to act as bouncer was a young Al Capone. As prohibition was becoming the law of the land Torrio was eager to organize this soon to be illicit vice. Big Jim was getting older and perhaps more refined wanted no part of it. So in the end as they say he had to go. Torrio had Big Jim killed and went on to organize the distribution of booze along with the rest of crime in Chicago.
This clip is part of the series The Outfit Now & Then produced by MindsiMedia and presented on ChiTownView's YouTube station. We show a mixture of crime scenes and homes associated with different Chicago mobsters and tell a little history with each clip. On our blog we have started posting a history of this organization that for many years had an incredible amount of influence and power over the second largest city in the country. While this may have been true for most of the big cities the level of influence in Chicago and many nearby suburbs was much stronger. In the HBO series Boardwalk Empire they have a storyline that is based the Chicago outfit and it's where we start our series.

Past and present collide beautifully at the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, voted one of the top properties in Chicago by T+L readers for the second year in a row. Housed in an 1893 landmark — with a Venetian Gothic façade inspired by the Doge’s Palace, no less — the hotel was once a sporting club for the city’s elite. Today the 241-room property still features the original chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling fireplaces, but it also has a new game room where guests can play bocce and billiards....
