Eliot Ness served as Cleveland&rsquo\;s Sa fety Director for Mayor Harold Burton during the years of 1935 to 1941. In these short years\, Eliot Ness made an impact on the city of Cleveland th at has lasted for generations. He came at a time when our city was very co rrupt and when it was regarded as the most dangerous city in the country. Within a few short years\, we were awarded the &ldquo\;National Safety Awa rd&rdquo\; thanks to Eliot&rsquo\;s relentless pursuit of justice and hone sty. Two of his 3 wives were popular in their own right within the artisti c community of Cleveland. Photos and stories will share the Eliot Ness tha t you won&rsquo\;t get from the movies - because\, in this case\, the trut h is more fascinating than fiction.
