I've been thinking recently, where are recruits even coming from nowadays?

It sounds like South Philly still has a lot of young Italian men.

But what about New York? Honestly, how many Italian neighborhoods in the five boroughs, where young Italian men live, exist anymore? Are they pulling kids from the suburbs?

Take Ace Ailleo for example. Relatively young made guy. But he grew up and ran rackets in Middle Village, for example. Do guys like him even exist in these neighborhoods anymore?

I know too many suburban/assimilated Italians to think those kind of people have any shot at running a crime family in an intimidating fashion... But Connecticut might be more assimilated than other areas like New Jersey or Westchester.

The Providence family is dying. Does Federal Hill have any Italian kids? Does Detroit, or Chicago?
