Al Capone is also the main reason why expiration dates were put on milk cartons/bottles, because his niece grew ill due to tainted milk.. The Capone family actually had a big hand in the dairy industry in the 1930's.

@erickrohn2970 Жыл бұрын

Yeap he was hated and loved by people he had soup lines set up to feed the hungry aswell. And like you said he had expiration dates put on milk bottles. He was in the Dairy business and the liquor business good business man giving the people what they want lol

Yes. His brother Ralph was known as “Bottles” Capone because he owned a bottling plant and was involved in the business as a cover.

I always remember the poor dog that was there during the massacre. His name was Highball and he belonged to John May the mob members mechanic who was also killed. It was his constant barking that brought neighbors to the gruesome scene. He was so traumatized they eventually had to put him down. Today would be a different story but being it was 1929...Sad.

My cousin has worked there for 11 years & unfortunately people mess with it CONSTANTLY. 2x/week a crew is dedicated to adding grass/grass seed, or adjusting the mud in front of his grave (due to weather.) Soooo many people constantly visit his stone (among others, but he's obviously #1) IDK why they made his grave so easy to get to and access, but the traffic never slows down. I have family buried there and it never fails to get worse around the holidays when people are going to visit their loved ones. I guess they feel like "hey, why not check out Capones grave while were here...."
