8 Stop 8 of 10 on Bootleggers, Bullets & Baloney

The Site of the Lexington Hotel

The Loop & North Side, Chicago

A Preview

"There is no building to point at here. The Lexington Hotel came down in nineteen ninety-five, so if you're hunting for something grand, I'm sorry. You're standing in front of the memory of a headquarters. Because for three years at the end of the twenties, this was the address in Chicago. Al Capone didn't rent a room at the Lexington. He took the building."
