On June 30, 1934 John Dillinger and his gang robbed their last bank in the same block where the State stands. A shootout with the Police took place in the street. It’s said that some of the bullets hit the upper facade of the State. I’ve stood in front of the State and with the aid of binoculars, I saw what could be patched bullet holes. I don’t know for sure, but I can’t rule it out.
Located at 212 N Michigan, directly across from the Morris (Palace), the Granada Theatre was razed in 1972. The entire block in which it was located is now a grassy area with benches for the Morris patrons.
