A photo provided by the Chicago History Museum shows police and people in front of the S.M.C. Cartage Co. garage on North Clark in Chicago on Feb. 14, 1929 following the St. Valentine's Day massacre. Five henchmen from mobster Al Capone's gang killed seven members of George "Bugs" Moran's gang inside the garage. While Chicago officials today shun any association with the famous gangster, visitors still flock to the city searching for anything to do with Capone, who died 60 years ago on Jan. 25, 1947.
