Nope it's real...well I should say was real before it burned down.  However the servent's houses and the Underground tunnels are still there that lead to Chi-town.  Do a google search and you'll find it.

"AL CAPONE'S MANSION- There are only a few things that remain of this place. Mostly one side of foundation and a WHOLE lot of bricks. There are also two chimneys that have been left laying on their sides. The bricks are VERY neatly layed in a nice path. They are in a heap however and appear to be covering up at least ONE tunnel that is known to be at this place. It would take a BACK HOE at least to get it uncovered. There is also an UNDERGROUND room that has been completely unharmed. It has a door still and it locks from the outside. On the inside of this room (it can fit more than 18 people at one time), there is a hole directly in the middle of the ceiling, there is a shelf along one wall. There are metal hooks coming from the ceiling as well. There is also a small brick (looks similar to a chimeny or fireplace) that stretches from the floor through the ceiling, its only about 1 foot wide, with a small hole at the bottom. The floor is Dirt."

I really want to go, but if we do it Saturday, it'll have to be late (which is totally fine with me).  Purgatory is a huge place, do we know exactly (or approximately) where this place is at, or how long it will take to get there?

How late is late? I was thinking in the spirit of things we would be going after dark anyways. As far as where, I think Patrick was looking for where exactly this place can be found.

How about we leave at 11:00pm?  That should make it sufficiently dark and we won't have to worry about traffic nearby.

Well seeing as TR is a hugely popular and well known city I can't fine the driving directions online.  However knowing a friend he says to take:

M-60 to Young Prairie Rd
First road on the right is Harter Rd
Then Williams Rd which is Purgatory.
It's two roads and take up both sides of the road.  The area is rather small so finding the buildings won't be too hard.

Also, do you guys care if we go around 12AM?
