The Valentine’s Day Massacre

I am currently on vacation in Key West sipping a fruity-looking tropical drink poolside next to a pretty girl, so rather than spend my Friday stressing out about World War II I'll post a timely story I wrote earlier this week for HistoryRoll.com about one of the most romantic things to ever happen to 1920s gangland Chicago: The St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

In the mean time, here's a picture of me on vacation.
