Baltimore

Any news on who controls Baltimore ?

What do you mean who controls? No Cosa Nostra activity there.

I've read a lot about bookmakers operating out of that area ,and having relationships with NY And Phila ! I mean the little Italy is the best ,and the Redlight district is also happening !

I never hear too much about Baltimore. I think it's a big street gang city but i'm not sure. Maybe the philly crew has someone there since i think it's the closet LCN Family. I think they have some interest in parts of Delaware so maybe Maryland too but thats just a guess..

Baltimore's Little Italy is the best.

They said the Gambinos had a small crew in the 70's or 80's and that Phila had people there also . Funny with all the informants from both families ,nobody ever has a Baltimore connection! I think that there are a lot of Zips operating restaurants and pizza shops making big money ! Funny how there are no wannabes operating in Baltimore !

I didn't even know they had one. Last time i was there the harbor district or whatever you call it was pretty nice but i heard the city is really bad so i really didn't explore too much of it. I'll have to check it out if i ever go there again.

Better then NYC and cleaner !

Yes, very clean. And always wondered who controls that city. Bruno I think had a few guys down there but that was 40 years ago.

Yes ,Bruno had a guy named Harry Dascenzo ,not sure what happen to him ! I think the Jewish gangsters owned the strip clubs ! Also I think it is safe to say most of the racketeers of the 60 and 70's children went legit ! Also wondered about ocean city Maryland !

After watching The Wire, I really wonder who the current drug 'kingpins' are. Is ghetto D/C as bad as Ghetto Baltimore?

I read a book before called wised up ,but it didn't get into real LCN connections !

After the Bruno hit, the feds found John Stanfa working at a gambino controlled pizza shop in Maryland. But I think the pizza shop was more towards D.C.

There is pic of Harry Dascenzo in the Atlantic City black list.

It's very interesting to see why Baltimore never had it's own family ! Yet plenty of Zips with pizza shops !

I believe like many of the old time racketeers ,their Children went on to become Successfull people ! Went to college and didn't need to live that way of life ! Look at New Orleans and Scranton and Pittsburgh ! Same thing !
