St. Valentine's Day Massacre Site
The unmarked location where seven members and associates of the North Side Gang were shot and killed on February 14, 1929. The garage which used to be located at this address was demolished in 1967.All that is left of it are some bricks on display at the Mob Museum in Las Vegas.

Fascinating historical spot and yet nothing marks it. What remains is a parking lot and small grassy space. Check out the phenomenal pizzeria across the street and have a beer (prohibition is over:) )
Two of the shooters were dressed as police officers , while the others wore suits, ties, overcoats and hats, according to witnesses who saw the "police " leading the other men from the area.
Old mayor Daley razed the building. This is where Al Capone cemented his grip on Chicago by having seven members of the North Side Irish Mob gunned down.
No plaque or monument . Just the empty grass lot.
Gotta see this historic site
