    Great video! As a tour guide here in the Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky area I STRONGLY suggest that you cover the history of Newport, KY. After Remus retired from crime and prohibition was slowly coming to an end, his lieutenants decided to open casinos in Newport. The Cleveland Mob led by Moe Dalitz and several other mafia families would then take over the casinos in the area and turn it into the number one gambling destination in the country. Newport, KY was the foundation for Las Vegas, NV.

Still officially ruled an electrical fire, proven to be arson by famous anti-tobacco attorney Stan Chesley with even a confession by one of the guys who did. Burned by the Akron mob with hundreds dead. Still that reach is so great they won't reopen a criminal case.

    I grew up in Cincinnati in the neighborhood next door to Price Hill. I am 47 and in my late teens and early 20s you ran into a lot of older men who told stories of how they were saved from starvation in the depression and right after by Remus. He had a big farm and every day all the boys who were like 10-14 would desend on the farm every day to work from several miles around. When vegetables were coming in for harvest they brought their red wagons that were filled up with food for the kids' families every day. Regardless of the time of year the boys were given sandwiches for lunch. For the boys it was the only food they had. You didn't say anything bad about him around that age group. They would fight you.

    I knew a man that was George's money collector at his drug stores. I went fishing with him each week for a couple of years back in the mid-70's to hear his stories over and over about George Remus. You missed several stories about George and told a few stories I never heard. There were two big parties at his Price Hill home at Christmas when his 50 couple guests received diamond bracelets and tie pins. The second party was 6 months later for Imogene birthday party. The 50 guests received new Cadillac automobiles , built overlooking the City in Mt. Adams. Remus would meet my friend and another employee each week to collected the drug store money at a house located on Stanley Ave. on the east side of the city. The day he killed Imogene, he left Eden Park and met his two money collectors at this house. He told his men that he would have to shut down the business for awhile, until he straighten out this legal issue. But, selling liquor at his many drug stores around the city never returned. George's daughter was with Imogen the day of the killing. She set with George during the murder trial. His daughter was a child movie actor, staring as Alice in he first Alice in wonderland film. George remarried and ran a real estate office in Cincinnati and lived in northern Kentucky. He did live a quiet life and died an old man and buried with his third wife with two angels monument next to their graves. Over the years, someone knocked off the angel's monument wings. Yes no one knows where all the cash went. My friend said George worked with cash only and was worth over $500,000. back then. The big question never resolved, where did all the cash money go? Corrupt government officials and/or Dodge, the lover boy and federal agent.

He shot her near the Gazebo next to the reservoir, which was enclosed in the 1960s and topped with Mirror Lake. The Gazebo is still there! It's a beautiful little structure. Cheers!

    He should have followed the Walgreens model which sold hooch legally through prohibition. He already had a toe in pharmacies - he could have continued easily in that route exclusively rather than getting into manufacture and distribution as well.
    Nice deepfake at 03:50. The movement(s) always give those away.
    I also wouldn't say prohibition in 1920 was an overnight obliteration of the booze industry. There was already prohibition in effect for WWI in the US.

    Can we please get a video on Jean Lafitte, The pirate king of New Orleans? Or perhaps Napoleon II, I just came from watching your Napoleon III video and feel like he is the actual forgotten Bonaparte who lived an interesting 21 years of life.

    But can you please make a video about the skynlviv disaster? I know it is considered to be the most deadly airshow crash… i dont get to see much about it on youtube but i think more people should be reminded of it, and i bet it would be a great episode when done by you guys!
    I hope you notice this, Simon!

    2:15 Isn't that true for pretty much everybody? Like the saying goes "100 years from now no one will even remember your name." Hell even US presidents after 100 years tend to not be remembered by anybody other than history nerds or students cramming for a test that they forget about the day after.

    I straight up had to pause the video. I'll do almost a liter of vodka on a party day and be fine. I am cutting back because my friends are concerned. The minute you mentioned sterno camping fuel as an additive, I got nauseous. Kids, alcoholism is bad, and getting that desperate that you'll drink anything means you need serious help. Rough time for the country, I get it. But drinking anything? Wow.

    At Eden park in Cincinnati where Remus shot his wife, there was a replica of the Capitoline Wolf statue given to the city by Mussolini. Always thought it was interesting that the statue depicts Remus the founder of Rome at the same site as the murder. Apparently someone stole the statue a few months ago for scrape metal

    Hi Simon :) I didn't know what video to leave this comment on, so simply selected this one when I searched "Biographics"! Would you mind please doing a Biographics on Anne Lister. Her story was made famous in the BBC lesbian period drama "Gentleman Jack", and her story is an interesting one. Thank you!! :)
