This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Then There Was Chicago's Edward O'Hare, Butch's Father-- Part 1
From the March 17, 2013, Chicago Tribune "Chicago Flashback: Why JFK came to town" by Stephan Benzkofer.
O'Hare Airport, the supposed reason for JFK's visit and the hero for which it was named, was not the first time the O'Hare name made Chicago headlines. Besides questionable politics and dangerous streets, the name Edward O'Hare, Butch O'Hare's father, is also connected with that other thing people think about when Chicago is mentioned.
And, that would be gangs and Al Capone.
