@crimefiles1011: Detroit in the 1920s wasn't just making cars — it was making bootlegging millionaires. The Purple Gang started as teenagers on Hastings Street, took over Detroit's liquor trade during Prohibition, supplied Chicago, and ruled the city's underworld from about 1927 to 1932. Then one meeting on Collingwood Avenue in 1931 broke them from the inside. This is the full story — who they were, what they did, the Collingwood Manor Massacre, and which Michigan hideout stories are actually true. #PurpleGang#detroit#MichiganTrueCrime#truecrimetiktoke #TheCrimeFiles101
