Sin in the Second City Section ONE: Studying the history of a big, fascinating and historic city like Chicago is a worthy pursuit for a student no matter what the topic might be simply because Chicago is American through and through and its flaws and foibles reflect America's past. The subject might be Al Capone and his grip on the criminal genre in Chicago, it might be baseball and the Black Sox scandal that kept Shoeless Joe Jackson out of the big leagues – or it might be the Chicago of Mayor Richard Daley that hosted the 1968 Democratic National Convention during which there was a police riot against antiwar demonstrators. Studying the life and times of Chicago at the turn of the century when the Everleigh sisters opened up a classy brothel in the red light district – and played host to such iconic names as actor John Barrymore and heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson – is certainly worthy of a student's time. In this book an alert student learns, among myriad other interesting things, that the Everleigh Club welcomed participants to the July 1900 auto show, and each official exhibitor only needed to flash "an official exhibitor's badge" to be served a "lavish feast…a bottle of wine, and a trip up the mahogany staircase" for some sensual pleasure (Abbott, 2007, p. 73).
