Defunct families include: Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Northeastern Pennsylvania, Rochester, St. Louis, Dallas, Denver, San Jose, San Francisco, Tampa, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Rockford or Des Moines?


Pittsburgh, Northeastern Pennsylvania, and Rockford are still very much alive, Milwaukeee and Tampa are on life support but still active, there never were a Des Moines (Chicago crew) or a Dallas (a New Orleans crew)family, and Rochester never actually functioned as a family in spite of their attempt to seperate from Buffalo.
I would say KC and Tampa would have been neck and neck at the peak of their power


How long did the ABC Wars last when you were protecting your investments ? How did you just walk away? My friends uncle tried to walk away from the Colombo's but they wouldn't let them because of his shy operation. The pressure of mob life got to him he drank himself to death.
