Chicago in the Roaring 20’s changed organized crime forever.  Blood and booze flowed freely during Prohibition.  Johnny Torrio and Al Capone created their criminal group, the Outfit, just after Prohibition started.  Torrio, who toiled under brothel racketeer Big Jim Colosimo before 1920, had Colsimo killed after the boss refused his pleas to get into bootlegging.  The Outfit, under Torrio with Capone as his right-hand man, ran bootlegging, brothels and illegal gambling in the Windy City’s downtown and South Side. Gang shootouts flared up during the Chicago “Beer Wars” from 1922 to 1926, when mobsters killed 315 of their own and police killed another 160.. 

Tom North, a tour guide for Free Chicago Walking Tours, will share the details behind this significant period of Chicago’s history during the Men’s Group Breakfast on Saturday, October 12.  Join us for breakfast and Tom begins our trip back to those Roaring Twenties at 9 am.
