Message: [QUOTE="Jim Kalafus, post: 184021, member: 139751"] >BTW, there is another Bonnie and Clyde story in the neighborhood of present day Airport Freeway and Esters Road, which is just about a mile south of where I live in Irving. Ah yes, the shooting of the motorcycle officer. The site of the shooting and the site of the marker are not one and the same. A while back the owner of the garage in Joplin Missouri where they had the shootout with the police ( marked the beginning of the end for them) was willing to sell it to anyone with the ability to take it away- designed in the Model T Era, it was too narrow for contemporary cars and (I suspect) a magnet for the morbidly obsessed. Dont know if he managed to unload it or not. BTW- Blanche Barrow, the only survivor of the gang, survived until relatively recently. [/QUOTE]
