Al Capone home on Lily Lake in Lakemoor

I am new to this area & as always have an undying want to know the local folklore.

I was walking near the lake when a fellow resident showed me an old decomposing tower on the shore of the lake. I was told it was one of Al Capones hide outs. I was also told that capone & his valley gang used to dump body's at the Volo Bog.

I did a rather long research on the computer without finding much about it.

Does anybody know where I can find information on this?

Email me- cdaluga@yahoo.com.

No trackbacks.

I don't have any information about that. However, I am trying to do some research about the rumors that Al Capone used to rent out the entire third floor of the Bernardini Hotel in Nokomis, Illinois. The hotel is still standing today and in fact, I used to own the hotel building until January of this year. There are a lot of unusual things on the third floor of the old hotel. Does anyone know of any confirming stories or has anyone heard of this before??

my email is bernardinihotel@http://hotmail.com
