Back
Established less than 200 years ago,
Chicago has seen a lot of living in that short span of time. Burned
to the ground early on, its been frozen and just recently flooded.
Tucked away in the Midwest, it still rivals both coasts with its
food, entertainment, and cultural venues. Chicagos Most Wanted: The
Top 10 Book of Murderous Mobsters, Midway Monsters, and Windy City
Oddities takes you on a tour of that toddlin town with dozens of
top-ten lists containing memorable minutiae and delightful details.
Laura L. Enright will blow you away with this collection of amusing
and amazing facts about the Windy City. One would be hard-pressed
to decide what Chicago is most famous for. Is it disasters, such as
the Great Chicago Fire? Or perhaps gangsters are its calling card,
with Al Capone at the head? Maybe its the politics, with Hizzoner,
da Mayor and stories of votes coming from the dead. Or do sports
come to mind first, like the Cubs dismal failuressome say due to a
decades-old curseand the glory days of da Bulls and da Bears?
Whatever it is that makes Chicago, its in Chicagos Most Wanted. The
famous and the infamous, festivals and food, blues and jazz, and so
much more are all included in this collection of fascinating and
often humorous trivia tidbits. Frank Sinatra rhapsodized that
Chicago won't let you down, and neither will Laura L. Enright's
Chicago's Most Wanted! |
