Al Capone

CHICAGO'S UNDERWORLD:   LIKE IT OR NOT, AL CAPONE HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT , INFAMOUS OR NOTORIOUS,  IN THE CITY'S CRIME HISTORY.  Until lately (I was looking at my Capone's shotglass souvenir collections), I did not delved in how his family and relatives managed to avoid a life of crime, living under the police radar and the shame and heartaches attached with the family name.  They all seemed to have done great and lived a "clean" life!
