THE CHICAGOAN LIST 14

OLD CAPONE Chicago was considered a lively place during prohibition, complete with notorious gangsters and speakeasies. The city had hundreds of bars that remained open in the 1920s, with blank storefronts and secret side entrances. A few speakeasies and mob hangouts, like John Barleycorn’s and The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge, are still in business today. It was estimated that Al Capone, Chicago’s most famous gangster, bootlegger and crime boss, raked in $60 million alone on alcohol sales in 1927. Knob Creek, Orange, Maple, Angostura Bitters

Chicago incorporated as a city in 1837 and was ideally situated to take advantage of the nation’s westward expansion. Today, 50 percent of U.S. rail freight continues to pass through Chicago.

THE SKYLINE At the end of the 19th century, Chicago’s skyline was the perfect location for ambitious architects. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 completely demolished the downtown area, the opportunity to develop an unyielding strive to rehabilitate arose. Today, Chicago’s skyline is one of the tallest on earth, and can easily rank among the most astonishing. It hosts three out of the five tallest buildings in the United States and if you were to include the height of its antenna, the stately , or better known as the Sears Tower, survives to be the second tallest skyscraper in the world.

BLACK SOX OLD FASHIONED Notably one of the biggest scandals in the history of baseball, the 1919 Chicago White Sox lost the series to the Reds. Eight players were indicted of intentionally throwing games in exchange for money from gamblers. Even though all eight players were eventually acquitted of their charges, Kenesaw Landis, the first commissioner of baseball, banned them for life. One of the most well-known of these eight players was “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. The 1989 film Field of Dreams, based on the novel by W.P. Kinsella, examined the scandal and featured two of the players: “Shoeless” Joe (played by Ray Liotta) and Eddie Cicotte (played by Steve Eastin). Bacardi 8, Angostura Bitters, Simple Syrup 1871 Chicago’s buildings, streets and sidewalks were made of wood, and most of them burned to the ground in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The fire killed up to 300 people, destroyed roughly 3.3 square miles and left more than 100,000 residents homeless. The legendary account of the origin of the fire is that it was started by a cow kicking over a lantern in the barn owned by Patrick and Catherine O’Leary but it was never proven. Some testimonies stated that a group of men were gambling inside the barn and the lamp that they were using was accidentally knocked over and started the fire.
