Background: Targeted during a major weekend spike in Chicago crime, the November 23, 1930 bombing of Guyon’s Paradise Ballroom stands as a rare historical footnoting of Prohibition-era organized violence. Situated on the West Side at Crawford Avenue and Washington Boulevard, the popular venue was struck by an explosive device linked by police to ongoing labor racketeering and extortion battles—a tactic commonly executed by mobsters using hand-grenade "pineapple" explosive attacks against uncooperative local establishments. What makes this specific attack so notable in archival history is its unusual obscurity; despite targeting one of the city's premier dance halls.
