Cicero The First Suburb West (Images of America (Arcadia Publishing))

Mention the town of Cicero just about anywhere in the world, and you may receive two responses: first, a mimed tommy-gun pointed at you, reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties when Al Capone ran the town; second, a comment about Cicero's racial intolerance. Although the old Capone hangouts are mostly gone, and the town's racial makeup is changing, those old stereotypes linger.Betty Carlson Kay is the author of 'Cicero The First Suburb West (Images of America (Arcadia Publishing))', published 2000 under ISBN 9780738507866 and ISBN 0738507865.
