You would never notice the plot unless you knew what you were looking for
the name is hidden by the bushes. Organized Crime Figure, Al Capone, happens to reside nearby in majestic Hillside, Il. . He spent most of his professional career whacking the competition and intoxicating the American public during Prohibition. His current digs are located six feet under a large bush in the Mount Carmel Cemetery. We stopped by to pay our respects, 4 bits that had previously been reserved for the toll-way. I just happened to be wearing my favorite Scareshop shirt.

Al's grave is just inside the Roosevelt entrance, the first right and 5-7 markers down.

The bush that fronts the Capone family monument has actually grown around the curious tourists seeking a glimpse of the famous gangster. Capone was the largest of the racketeers, and captured the American public's imagination as few ever did. Born Alphonse Capone in Brooklyn, New York, of Italian immigrant parents, Gabriele and Teresina Capone, the fourth of nine children. Raised in a loving Italian family, he was brought up to be honest and hard working. Surprisingly unbiased for his time, he would work with anyone of any race, creed or color who was loyal to him.

One must go right up to the bush and peer down the tunnel created by curios hands.

A cigar and cash even in death capone gets his tribute.

He quit school at 8th grade, and began work for Johnny Torrio, a new kind of gangster then taking over New York. From him, Al Capone learned his trade, initially running errands, numbers, and working his way up the ladder to local boss. He also learned from a rough local gangster, Frank Yale, about the use of violence to climb the ladder, while maintaining a respectable home and social life. He married an Irish Catholic, Mae Coughlin, and they had a son, Albert Francis Capone, born December 4, 1918. Al's first murder occurred in 1924, for which he was found innocent when the eyewitnesses were bribed. In March 1925. When Johnny Torrio moved his operations to Chicago in 1921, he brought Capone with him, and together, they built up the crime empire, concentrating on nightclubs, prostitution, and illegal liquor. Killing other gang members to build his empire. Torrio quit the business to retire to Florida, In the void left by his absence capone filled the vacuum and took over Torrio's empire.

Al's violence knew no bounds he would gun down anyone who got in his way it is rumored he murdered two of his under bosses with a bat while the other members of his crime syndicate watched, and then had them burred in the very same cemetery where he now resides giving them a lavish sendoff spending over $1500 for flowers alone, at the time considered an exorbitant sum. Al Capone's violence peaked with the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, 1929 when seven members of Bugs Moran's gang were murdered in a hail of Tommy-Gun fire. This murder brought the attention of the Federal government, who swore to get Capone off the street and into jail. In 1931, he was indicted and convicted of Income Tax evasion and sentenced to eleven years in jail.

I lay with the capone's.

A bench the inscription reads "FROM THE BOYS" But that's another story. The last years of Al's life were spent addle minded, roaming the halls of Alcatraz where the once fearsome gangster was know as the "wop with the mop" Having been given the job of mopping the cellhouse. To the other prisioners Al was a joke. Long ago he had lost his mind, and the power that had made him the fearsome crime leader he once was.. The feds took pity on him and released Al back into society where he later died in 1947. He died in his home in Miami, Florida, of cardiac arrest resulting from third stage syphilis. A disease he obviously contracted while visiting one of his may houses of ill repute that he operated. He refused a simple series of penicillin shots that would of ultimately saved his life.

Hanging around looking for zombies.
