Tucson Photographers - Public Enemies: Dillinger at the Hotel Congress


Yesterday was the release of the movie "Public Enemies" starring Johnny Depp. The movie follows the true story of one of America's most notorious bank robbers, John Dillinger. To celebrate, Hotel Congress put on a re-enactment of some of the history that took place here in Tucson. Hotel Congress annually puts on a larger celebration of their history called "Dillinger Days"


Booking Director: Dave Slutes

Everyone dressed up in 30's vintage attire and pulled up in their old school cars to kick off the movie premier last night. The weather was a perfect and the vibe of the live music made for an incredibly successful event. Congratulations to the staff at Hotel Congress as a lot people had a great time last night.

Gotta love the wash board...

The Upright Bass was really nice while the monsoon clouds moved around us with just lite sprinkles.

The story goes that on January, 21 1933 a fire broke out on the third floor of the Hotel. Dillinger and his men we're exposed when they tried to bribe a firefighter to save their loot up in their rooms. They were later arrested on a downtown Tucson street corner.





Stop and have dinner at the Hotel, go see this summer's big movie, and be sure to visit the Hotel Congress website to see what happening downtown!
