St. Valentine's Day Massacre site
On 14 February 1929 seven men of the North Side gang were lined up and shot in a garage at 2122 North Clark Street, Chicago.
1929 CE · 41.92, -87.64 · status: legend
The account
The garage was demolished in 1967. Dogs are said to bark or howl at the site, and a story holds that bricks from the wall, sold as souvenirs, brought their owners bad luck.
The sceptical view
The massacre is history; the curse and ghost stories are urban legend.
