13 Places Al Capone Visited

Alphonse Capone rose to fame in the 1920s as a crime boss in Chicago, where his gang smuggled liquor, ran backroom gambling operations, and bribed politicians.

This explains why, a century later, you still see places advertising that Al Capone once darkened their doors.
Here are 13 you won’t want to miss.
