Im pretty sure Nick Licata was made in Detroit before becoming LA Boss. Theres definitely a fair bit of it in LA from memory. Not mentioning all the guys that came from interstate as an associate & got made in LA, like Mike Rizzitello, or Porno Mike Esposito, or you get the idea. Hm. Lips Moceri? (actually i think he went the other way, leaving LA for Cleveland.

Anthony Milano never switched families. He just had a lot of business interests on the West Coast and in Vegas. He held on to the title of underboss of the Cleveland family until the 1970s. Although by that time he was underboss in name only as other guys were acting in his place (most notably Frank Brancato). He spent his later years in Cleveland where he passed away.

Licata was indeed made in Detroit, but I think (and this is just a guess) that Morceri was made in Cleveland after leaving L.A.
