I am referring, of course, to the 87th anniversary of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Five members of Bugs Moran's North Side gang and two collaborators were gunned down in a Chicago warehouse. Moran was en route to the warehouse and missed being one of the victims by only a few minutes. Al Capone's South Side gang is widely believed to have been responsible, though the shooters were never apprehended.
