    My hometown is St Paul. I started the original Saint Paul Gangster Tours back in the mid-90s. Check out an interview I did with Paul Maccabee about St Paul's gangsters on my "Most Notorious" podcast on Itunes for free!

    My Grandfather was born in 1901 and lived in both Minneapolis and St Paul. He was a mechanic and I remember him talking about some of the cars he tuned. I don’t remember what he said though and was telling someone, I was young and my guess is that was after 1960.

    I've just met the greatest people in Minnesota - and the best city folks anywhere. Of course I didn't know St. Paul in the 30s. 😂 Sending extra angels to everyone in your cool town.

    What a ruff rugged fight back in those days? Maybe Jesus Christ ? Had a super man chest to ease the catch of your prey? You know how? Telling you to watch your head, face, on the mirror, that way you you know a pillow.

    The dude was in a federal prison, very sick. I know. Because they brought him to the hospital I worked at. He had zero quality of life near the end.
