Hawthorne Smoke Shop
The Hawthorne Smoke Shop (later known as the Ship[1]) was a gambling casino owned by American gangster Al Capone and run by fellow gangsters Frankie Pope and Pete Penovich.[2] It was located in Cicero, Illinois, where Capone had fled to escape Chicago police. Although shut down temporarily by raids several times during its existence, it provided a significant amount of revenue, earning half a million dollars in a two-year period.[2][3] The profits from the Hawthorne Smoke Shop were one piece of evidence used against Capone at his trial in 1931.[3]
