From the Friday, February 13, 2015, Chicago Tribune "As luck would have it: Friday the 13th news of note" by Mark Jacob.
That was a Friday the 13th and we have another one coming up in a week and a half. Mark Jacob takes a look back at some stories from Chicago's past on this "unlucky" date.
Friday, May 13, 1932: A North Side man reported his 13 golf clubs and 13 balls were stolen from his car at 13th and Wabash. Sounds like a story to me.
1980: Tribune film critic Gene Siskel hated the movie "Friday the 13th" so much, he went beyond just a "Thumbs Down" and gave away the movie's ending to discourage people from seeing it.
APRIL 13, 1860: A slow day for crime with just two "little cases" handled by police in the growing city of 110,000. The Tribune remarked, "Our city is very moral, or the police are not very sharp."
What Luck, A "Moral" City. --Cooter
