On the morning of February 14, 1929, seven members of Bugs Moran's North Side Gang were executed in a garage on North Clark Street. Al Capone was in Florida. He had an alibi. Everyone knew it was him anyway. The St. Valentine's Day Massacre is the moment the Capone era crystallised in the public imagination — but to understand it, you have to start at the beginning.
This episode covers the full foundational arc of Capone's rise. Born in Brooklyn in 1899 to Italian immigrants, Capone learned the grammar of organised crime under Frankie Yale before Johnny Torrio brought him to Chicago at twenty years old. At the Four Deuces on South Wabash, he absorbed everything: money flows, supplier networks, the corruption arrangements that kept a criminal empire standing. When Torrio stepped away in 1925 after his own near-assassination, Capone — twenty-six years old — inherited an operation generating an estimated one hundred million dollars a year.
The Cicero takeover in 1924 made the suburbs Capone territory. The Hawthorne Inn became his fortress headquarters. The 1926 convoy attack by the North Side Gang — more than a thousand rounds fired into the building while Capone was having lunch — confirmed what everyone already sensed: this was a war with no natural ending.
The North Side problem never went away. O'Banion, then Weiss, then Bugs Moran — each successor more stubborn than the last. The Massacre was meant to end it. It didn't. And the heat it generated would accelerate everything that followed.
