Hymie Weiss

On this day in 1926, Chicago mobster Hymie Weiss was gunned down outside the Holy Name Cathedral on State Street.

During the 1920s, he wasn't the only one that was gunned down there.

If you look at the inscription in the corner of the building, there are still bullet holes. I checked it out myself. Bridget and I used to attend that church.
