Alphonse Capone was from Brooklyn, and only came to Chicago later in his life.

Famous isn't the word I'd use to describe that murderous little monster, though. Notorious is much more fitting.

I've always wondered about that use of "famous." Is it incorrect to use it for someone who is actually infamous or notorious?

Okay, why did you post this?

Besides, Capone was a New Yorker.

You can tell that just from the very top of a jacket and tie and a white hat?

Oh, I'm sure he would have been a responsible citizen if there wasn't any prohibition.

"Famous" generally has positive connotations.

LOL, exactly. He got expelled from school at age 14 for hitting a female teacher in the face, FCOL. He was involved with the Five Points Gang in Manhattan as an older teen. Lost cause.
