Congratulations!.... I think.
Also, Al Capone's favorite urinal... in Kansas City? Is there documentation for that?

When they contacted me for a photo, they didn't mention the company that we would be in! Not sure if I like being with the likes of Manson and Dahmer, but whatever it takes to get people interested in our history...
As far as Capone's urinal, your guess on finding primary source material on that is as good as mine -- and, with apologies to any Kansas City posters here - I'm not venturing to that city to track it down! Washington, DC is wicked enough for me right now -- and I am not referring to the politics (this time).

Booth's act gets him included with the list of psycho's and butcher's.
Probably not the type of notoriety he expected or desired.

Who knows... maybe the "Axeman of New Orleans" would not have desired to be on the same list as Booth.

Congrats - sounds like winning the five Guide Michelin stars in food terms!

Been on the JWB tour. The Surratt Society does a great job. I applied for the announcer position at Golen Gate Fields and if I get the job, I'll have to take the Zodiac killer tour. I've driven by Al Capone's house in New Smyrna Beach, FL many times when spring breaking in the area.
Also from 3 PM until closing Chipotle burritos and bowls are $3 if you dress up in costume. I'm going in my regular clothes and saying I'm the Greatest American Hero because I'm sure the staff has never heard of that show and I'll feast on Chipotle for $6 (I plan to get a burrito and bowl).
