On February 14, 1929, St. Valentine's Day, five members of the North Side Gang, plus gang collaborators Reinhardt H. Schwimmer and John May, were executed inside a Chicago garage that was located at 2122 North Clark Street, in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of North Side. The tragic event became known as ‘The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre’.
The event conjoined the Mafia with Valentines Day.
In 2010 Zynga connected Mafia Wars to the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre for the first time. Many of you may remember the Mafia Wars Valentine’s Day Event. Here’s a blast from the past;
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Mafia Wars is getting ready to lavish you with cool new game updates for our Valentine’s Day Event starting Tuesday, February 9th. First off is a new featured job – the Valentine’s Day Massacre. This featured job will be played similarly to NYE featured job – it’ll be broken up into three special jobs for you to choose from that each have timers, and you’ll be awarded with unique Valentine’s Day bonuses for each stage you complete. Finish the featured job for a cool mastery item! Because we want everyone to feel the love and get the mastery item from the event, we’ll be offering some extra help. You’ll be able to use Reward Points to speed up the job timers, and will also have the option to ask for help from your mafia.
In 2012 players were offered a Valentine’s Day Massacre 7 day sale.

In 2011 Mafia Wars players were able to participate in the ‘Love And War’ Gifting Event.
Although one might believe there is a connection between the saying ‘Love And War’ and the ‘Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre’ there is not. According to Wikipedia the term ‘Love And War’ originated as an anti-war slogan which, in it’s entirety, read ‘Make Love, Not War’. The slogan was first printed for a Mother's Day Peace March in 1965 in Chicago, Illinois.
It is now 2013 and Zynga has recently added some peculiar loots to the inventory that, almost certainly, will be for another Valentine’s Day Massacre Sale. No ‘new’ images have been found yet on the servers for this 7 day sale. It is possible that Zynga will decide to reuse the images from the 2012 Valentine’s Day Massacre 7 Day Sales Event. The Loots for this upcoming 7 day sale include a Struck Out, Decaying, Whiffed Away, Roadkill (Our favorite), Blind Date, Thorn Apart, and Red-back Spider.
