Meet a local guide to hear the fascinating story of how prohibition in the 1920s and 1930s propelled Minneapolis to form some of the most powerful mobs in the country. Learn how Mill City mob bosses like "Kid Cann" Blumenfeld and Irish godfather Tommy Banks controlled illegal booze, vice, and gambling in Minneapolis for decades through murder, mayhem, and manipulation. Find out why being a news editor, like Walter Liggett, was a deadly occupation. See where Public Enemy #1 John Dillinger lived, where the infamous Karpis/Barker gang committed their first of many bank robberies, and where the city's most successful madame ran her organization. Enjoy lunch at The Local featuring traditional Irish food!
