On April 21st POCKET GUIDE TO HELL TOURS presented A Live Historical Reenactment, starring Geraldo Rivera.

It may be Chicago’s equivalent of King Tut’s tomb. It belongs to the king of a criminal empire. CAPONE. It’s massive, 125 ft. long, 8 ft. high, 8 ft. wide. It’s a mystery. What secrets lie hidden inside Al Capone’s vaults? Find out when we open it on live television. A world premier event–treasure vault or tomb? THE MYSTERY OF AL CAPONE’S VAULTS.

Pocket Guide to Hell offers walking tours in Chicago that highlight obscured narratives of true crime, social justice, and labor history. If you would like to find out more, befriend Ben Reitman on Facebook.
