BK>>>  Detroit was the home of the Purple Gang. Also famous.

 BF>> Never hear of them.

 BK>  There was a movie about them long ago.

Never heard of that either.

 BK>>>  When I said from Chicago I mean originally. I now live near
 BK>>>  Toledo Ohio. Toledo was, much to my surprise, also heavily
 BK>>>  involved in organize crime in the '30s. It was also famous as a
 BK>>>  'rest area' for gangsters from Detroit. Guess they considered it
 BK>>>  a truce zone or something. Used to work with a nice little old
 BK>>>  lady. It wasn't until after she died that I learned that she and
 BK>>>  her husband had run a restaurant that was known to the police as
 BK>>>  a hangout for gangsters.

 BF>> Think about listening to everyones life story.

 BK>  All too often we don't even hear about it until they die. Or
 BK>  retire.

Well, until then there really isn't much to tell.
