Chicgo Outerbelt Trail - Hegewisch and Burnham

We park in the neighborhood near 135th & S Buffalo Ave. See address below.
This walk is a little of Hegewisch followed by walking Burnam Ave. We pass Burnham Golf Course where Al Capone played golf and, in fact shot himself in the foot with the gun he threw into his golf bag. Burnam was notorious as a “den of vice,” replete with gambling, prostitution, and saloons that stayed open all night. A federal prosecutor called Burnham “the leper of Illinois.” The town earned that reputation thanks in part to its “boy mayor,” Johnny Patton, who was just 24 when he was first elected in 1908. “The mayor says the town is open — all night, all Sunday, all any time that there is anyone there who’d like to buy a drink or to dance to the sound of a nickel piano,” We walk over the Grand Calumet River and at Sibley Blvd turn west to a portion of the Burnham Greenway Trail. We turn back.
I have a family Birthday to attend so won't be able to go for lunch.
