"Brooklyn map showing Al Capone's world as a youngster. The yellow square shows the original St. Michael's Archangel church where Al was baptized when the Capones lived on Navy street. That original church burned down in 1914.

The red square shows where the later St. Michael's church was built in 1915, and where the Capone baseball team was organized. The green square is Park Avenue where the Capones lived for a time in the early 1900's. The nearby park (City Park) is where Al Capone once played baseball and it's still standing today!

The blue square is where the Capones moved to. Garfield place and Al's neighborhood. This is the area where Al and his friends hung around. The Fischetti family lived near Carroll and Capone's slasher Frank Galluccio lived on Union street. Capone's slashing would occur on December 8,1918, at a restaurant near 5th Avenue and Union Street."

The red arrow by Nevins St. indicates Douglas St, where I lived for many years. The streets run Nevins, Bond, Hoyt and Smith. I lived on Douglas between Smith and Hoyt and would shop at the Pantry Pride by Butler St and 5th Ave, very close to where Al would receive the scars he would carry the rest of his life.
