For years Vince Solano jr. had his law firm right in downtown Lisle were the Solano family lived for years. My friends wife was told if she ever needed any help with anything in Chicago she was told to call Vince jr. and he will take care of it.
As far as hangouts. I live in the Grand and Ogden neighborhood and have worked in that neighborhood for 8 years. There used to be a social club a the corner of Grand and may st and you would see a lot of old timers from the Grand Ave crew outside. La Scarola and Richards is a hangout for Albert Vena and Bobby Dominic. Some of the Rush St. restaraunts have a lot of outfit money involved. I believe the Cozzos still have the big place at grand and ogden.
i live the neighborhood too. Apparently we are neighbors. Chitown, Aberdeen in particular is a really nice bar.
Any specific spots of note in Bridgeport or EP?
I think most of the places in the old neighborhoods are long-gone. Bobby Abinanti owned "The Loon" in River Grove. Now it's called "My Way" or something like that. I wonder whether he still owns it, but that was where DiFronzo and his brothers were all caught meeting by Chuck Goudie.
One of the local OTB parlors that is frequented by Outfit members like Jimmy Inendino and others is "Lucky Magees" in Niles.
Bobby Abbinanti apparently likes this place too:
http://news.medill.northwestern.edu/chicago/news.aspx?id=93125&terms=AbbinantiI tend to see more Outfit faces at suburban spots like the Grotto, Spavone's, Pal Joey's, Danny's/Cuzzins in Des Plaines. It is not like the 60s or 70s where there are "neighborhoods" where guys live and walk down the street to hang out. These guys now spread out everywhere.
