Funny but reading Tucker, LL mentioned Leadville had a part of town called Little Chicago. In my part of the country there are several towns that have referred to themselves as such.
In my town it was known as a frequent stopping off place for certain Chicago gangsters as Hwy 51 was in route to Florida. But I'd also heard that they were warned not to cause any trouble because these local law would bury them right quick.
Funny stories, as I said. 😊
