A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE
MOB MEET...
Research is always rewarding. I strive
to learn something new and fascinating each and every day in terms
of Chicago history...or for that matter...history of a related
nature.
While bouncing about on the net...I
discovered a tidbit regarding another Chez Paree nightclub...this
one being in Omaha, Nebraska...of all places.
The bio was written by Brian Beerman...well
written with a wealth of information. Omaha was well known for its
major bookmaking operations during the Twentieth
Century...including illicit liquor trade...red light districts...and
a multitude of 'Mob hits'...some as you well might know...never
solved.
Eddie Barrick...an influential and
leading layoff bookie...had many contacts...including Meyer
Lansky...Mickey Cohen...Frank Costello and scores of other nefarious
Mob guys.
Barrick and his partner Sam Ziegman held
an interest in the Chez Paree gambling casino located in
Carter Lake, Iowa...which catered to all those who wished to 'drop'
their money at the tables...during the 30's and 40's.
