There is a photo showing the 93 Palm Ave Capone mansion. I wanted to add to the note underneath saying that it was demolished in August 2023. ~2026-33239-81 (talk) 13:31, 19 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done. It's not clear what edit you want to make. Regardless, a) you need a source, and b) I went ahead and trimmed out excess detail from the caption. Images should merely illustrate what's discussed in the prose, and I don't see why that's all that important. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:54, 19 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
