Valentine's Day Trivia     

 

In 1929 in Chicago, gunmen in the suspected employment of organized-crime

boss Al Capone murder seven members of the George "Bugs" Moran North

Siders gang in a garage on North Clark Street. The so-called St. Valentine's Day

Massacre stirred a media storm centered on Capone and his illegal Prohibition-era

activities and motivated federal authorities to redouble their efforts to find

evidence incriminating enough to take him off the streets.

 

The oldest known Valentines were sent in 1415 A.D. by the Duke of Orleans

to his French wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London.

It is still on display in a museum in England.

Humorous valentines of the 19th century were called "Vinegar Valentines" or

"Penny Dreadfuls." Vinegar Valentines were introduced in 1858 by John

McLaughin, a Scotsman with a New York City Publishing Business.

Penny Dreadfuls with comic designs drawn in 1870 by American cartoonists

Charles Howard became known as Penny Dreadfuls.

 

One single perfect red rose framed with baby's breath is referred to by some

florists as a "signature rose," and is the preferred choice for many for

giving on Valentine's Day, anniversary, or birthday.

 

Only the US, Canada, Mexico, France, Australia and the UK

celebrate Valentine's Day.
