Big Jim Colosimo's Café

Big Jim Colosimo's Café is a café in Dockland, Illinois.

History
Before Torrio and before Capone, Big Jim Colosimo ran Dockland's outfit. Big Jim controlled the South Side's hundreds of gambling saloons, opium dens and brothels from 1902 to 1920. Big Jim sealed his fate when he refused to expand the business into illegal liquor smuggling. Johnny Torrio, anxious to expand his business, ordered a hit on his boss. Colosimo was gunned down in his own establishment.
