Published On: Mon May 01 2023
Description: Hot Springs National Park was nicknamed the loose buckle in the Bible Belt for its long history of criminal operations, speakeasies, and mob lore. This episode we conduct a historic tour of the park, visiting the favorite spots of infamous gangsters like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano. We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
