It's been 74 years on Monday March 3 since Dillinger's notorius escape from the "escape proof" Crown Point Jail.

This is a great site with some fabulous pictures of the locations. You'll want to visit it! http://dillingerswomen.com/articles/crownpoint.html

These two pages are terrific!

I didn't get the chance to read PE with all of you this time so I'm really enjoying all of the information and pictures on the sites you've posted Karen! Thanks for taking the time to do that!

I had to laugh at the picture of the truck that had the sign in the back that said, 'Don't shoot, I ain't Dillinger"! :lol:

I can sooooo picture JD as JD!! woohoo

I loved that pic too!

That was great wasn't it? :)

If this has been posted in another thread, I apologize, because I haven't been on JDR in quite some time. My parents (who live in Indiana) told me the other day that there would be filming in Crown Point, IN. Again, if this is old news, I'm sorry...but if not, thought others would like to know! :D

Thanks Susan, so....are ya going to be visiting the folks any time soon???? B)

I wish! It's at least a 2-3 hr. drive from where they live. I'm pretty much trapped here in FL due to the care my cat Melora needs, but one can dream! :)

Yes we can dream! Fingers crossed that dreams come true one day!

"Don't Call Us Molls" looks to be an interesting book, too.
