Exciting!
This is a 1970s-era Board of Tourism advertisement for the city of Chicago. Chicago is fun! It's overflowing with sunlit cityscapes and joyful, smiling faces of young people, families, and tourists, all locked in a state of perpetual 8-millimeter textured happiness and wonder of this city of broad shoulders, this great city by the lake.
What is the real Chicago beyond tourism ads?
Look north now to that glittering shopper's paradise proudly dubbed the Magnificent Mile.
It really does look like a wonderful place to live. A place with endless possibilities, where anybody, no matter who you are or where you came from, can get a fair shot at the brass ring.
Chicago is something you've just got to see for yourself.
But only a few miles from the bright lights of Michigan Avenue is a different stretch of road, a dark corner of the Windy City you won't see in any Board of Tourism commercial. It's a place where the cops are just as crooked as the criminals, where drugs and prostitution run rampant, and where a young mafia hitman they call The Kid is parked outside of a dark, dilapidated apartment building, waiting for just the right moment to make his next move.
About 9 p.m. at night, I'm in an apartment complex in a neighborhood that I really don't know very well. And I'm listening to my song, the song that I always play before I do something sketchy like this, and that's Sympathy for the Devil.
Who is Kenny 'The Kid' and what was his role in the Outfit?
It just does something to me.
I don't know what it does. It's just part of my routine. I sit in my car and I do what I always do. I breathe. I make myself aware. I heighten my senses, my sight, my smell, my hearing. I don't know how I do it, but I do it. As I'm listening to the music, I feel my senses start to kick in. As they kick in, the moment arises. The moment always hits me. I don't know how it hits me, but I know when I'm ready for the moment. Out of my car. Walk up to the apartment complex. Ring the buzzer. This asshole comes at a buzzer, announces his name. I said, this is Ken. I'm coming up for the coke. He says, fine, come on up. Buzzer hits. I walk up the stairs. I reach my right hand behind my belt on my back. Knock on the door with my left hand.
How did Kenny perform a mafia hit?
Please, man, no, man, please, man, no.
I want to say his name, dude, but I can't. Will you edit his name out of here? Let's kick ass. Back it up to the bathroom. He didn't move fast enough, and I wanted him to know I meant fucking business here. So I beat him. I hit him twice, right cheek, left cheek. Backed off, put the gun back up to his forehead. Backed him up into the bathroom. Got to the bathroom. Get on your knees, . He wouldn't have gotten on his knees fast enough, so I dropped him with my left foot. I got him right behind his right knee. That dropped him to his knees. Pushed him down towards the toilet. grabbed the cuffs that were in my left rear pocket and cuffed him right behind the base of the toilet. There he sat. I can't remember exactly what I said to him, but I was dead serious what I said, but I really can't remember. Anyway, I waited like I was asked to do. Knock at the door comes and three of my boys come in. Showed them to the bathroom. I backed out because it wasn't my hit. It was just my setup. It wasn't my hit. Went back into the living room, sat and waited.
Heard some commotion, a muffled gunshot. I know that's the end of the story. The boys walk out. Where's the dope, Ken? Ransacked his bedroom, found the dope. Got about three or four ounces of what was called at the time... Yeah, it was pink cocaine. What the hell did they call it back then? Peruvian, I don't know. Anyway, it was coke. All right, because that's what everybody was doing back then.
