John,
I like it. It's so atmospheric I can almost smell the cigars, sugo and garlic. It has me wondering about the truth of my father’s tales of Capone’s digging an underground complex for his stills, retail bar, and women that started from the basement of the La Rosa Building that still stands in the little Colorado town he lived in until moving to Chicago. There, as a young man, he was part of a team that drove liquor from Canada to the Chi. He even kidded that I was named after Al’s brother Ralph. Yeah, probly just kidding.
Cent an,
