St. Paul: Gangster Haven

[@johna7661]

My Grandfather was born in 1901 and lived in both Minneapolis and St Paul. He was a mechanic and I remember him talking about some of the cars he tuned. I don’t remember what he said though and was telling someone, I was young and my guess is that was after 1960.

My hometown is St Paul. I started the original Saint Paul Gangster Tours back in the mid-90s. Check out an interview I did with Paul Maccabee about St Paul's gangsters on my "Most Notorious" podcast on Itunes for free!

Crime does pay - if you're a Bankster.

I've just met the greatest people in Minnesota - and the best city folks anywhere. Of course I didn't know St. Paul in the 30s. 😂 Sending extra angels to everyone in your cool town.

What a ruff rugged fight back in those days? Maybe Jesus Christ ? Had a super man chest to ease the catch of your prey? You know how? Telling you to watch your head, face, on the mirror, that way you you know a pillow.

The dude was in a federal prison, very sick. I know. Because they brought him to the hospital I worked at. He had zero quality of life near the end.
