I was looking up some information on Cincinnati, Ohio's interesting Eden Park when I stumbled across George Remus: pharmacist, attorney, bootlegger. You know those over-the-top films about the lurid adventures of organized criminals, double-crossing spouses and crooked law enforcement during Prohibition? Here's the real deal.
If you made up his life for a book, you'd be accused of straining credulity.
P.S., Eden Park has a copy of Rome's Capitoline Wolf statue -- stolen in 2022, replaced in 2023. The old one was a gift in 1931 from, of all people, Benito Mussolini. The new one was funded by a group of Italian-Americans. Heck of a place, that park.
