Of course, with the Chain of Lakes' proximity to Chicago, there are many tales of Chicago mobsters muscling in on the many resorts as well as vacationing in the area. One of those mobsters was Al Capone.
I recently saw a for sale sign at the building, now a home, but back in the 1930s it was the Manning Hotel.
It is located at 16 North Pistakee Road (right next to Hamsher Funeral Home) on Pistakee Lake and listed for $500,000. Back in the 1930s, three mobsters were killed and wounded in an attack by a rival gang on the hotel bar/ restaurant..
Supposedly, bullet holes are still in the walls.
