Where they mention Bonnie and Clyde robbing a bank in Everly Iowa , that's about 40 miles from where I live and have been there many times

Not the bank , but the town , :whistle:

Very interesting...we have seen that car in the casino.
So have we , my sister got remarried about five years ago in Las Vegas , and on the way home , the wife and I made a few detours , first stop was to see the Bonnie and Clyde car , Then we stopped at Joplin Missouri to look at Bonnie and Clyde's hideout

Bonnie and Clyde had many hideouts , but this was one of the more famous ones , it was where one of their big shootouts took place and killed two police officers

Then we stopped at Dexfield Park just out side of Dexter Iowa , where another big shootout with the police occurred , this is where Clyde's brother Buck , and his wife Blanche were captured , Bonnie , Clyde and W.D. Jones were able to escape through a corn field , although they got pretty shot up

Years ago , they used to rent out that apartment in Joplin , Missouri , I tried to talk my wife into renting it for a week , but she didn't want anything to do with it , now don't get me wrong , my wife is cool and all , but she always said , if we were going to take a week or two off for vacation , it was going to be some place with a ocean and a beach , and that just wasn't Joplin Missouri.......................lol

But then about 7 or 8 years ago , Joplin had that real bad tornado that destroyed like half the town , so they had housing shortages , so now people actually live in the apartment , and so they no longer rent it out on weekly bases

Bonnie and Clyde's Joplin Hideout



Bonnie and Clyde at Dexfield Park just out side of Dexter Iowa , shortly before the shootout with police , where Clyde's brother Buck and his wife Blanche were captured , Buck would end up dying 5 days later in a hospital Perry Iowa from multiple gun shot wounds

Funny, today is the day they met their demise in 1934.
