H.H Holmes and the "White City"

I was personally disturbed with Holmes and how he went about his murders. He said that he couldn’t help the fact that he was a murderer but the way that he captured the love of his victims with his charm and then so easily disposed of them was awful. For many of these women he showed them the first real signs of hope and happiness in their life, only to take it away with a cloud of gas and a rag soaked with chloroform. Holmes destroyed so many families and so many dreams and had no remorse. I know it is obvious to have distaste for a murderer but Holmes was worse, by first establishing a strong connection with his victims and their families, and then finding contentment in having the power to rid them from his life.

On a diffrent note, The fair was able give the American people a distraction from the economic turmoil that existed nationwide. People who went to the fair took pride in it during a time when the mood around America was filled with negative sentiment. It was one thing that native Chicagoans could hang their hats on. Maybe, with the dreadful state of the economy we could use our own "White City"?
