A Date With Destiny (and Death)
On a day when hearts are supposed to flutter with love, a very different kind of heart-stopping event unfolded in the Windy City. February 14, 1929, was no ordinary Valentine's Day. It was the day a garage in Lincoln Park became a crime scene for the ages. The address? 2122 North Clark Street.

Now, this wasn't your average lovers' quarrel. We're talking about a full-on gangland execution. Seven guys, all allegedly tied to the North Side Gang, were lined up against a wall and turned into Swiss cheese. The culprits? Rumor has it, they were dressed as cops. Talk about a costume party gone wrong!

Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe it was a case of mistaken identity. Or maybe Cupid had a really bad aim that day.
