In another thread about the midwest families St. Louis was mentioned. In their prime, what are ya'lls opinions on that family. From what I've read, Tony Giordano was pretty well respected amongst LCN when he ran it. But you never really hear much about the family. Were they just a small time family that operated in the shadow of Kansas City and the other midwest heavyweights?
From what i've read about them (which is very little) they were always a small family but quite powerful in their on right, i know they had influence in some Laborers unions as well as the usual rackets Loan sharking,gambling etc, and if i'm not mistaken they had some small involvment in Las Vegas. My guess is they've been gone since the 90's.
