"You're standing near where the Lexington Hotel once stood. This was Al Capone's headquarters from 1928 until his arrest in 1931. The building is gone now—demolished in 1995—but for three years, this was the most dangerous address in America. Capone didn't just rent a room here. He owned the entire hotel."
