They are just a small, gambling crew these days right?

Still pissed that the Royals beat my Mets, ugh!!

good article

defo true there is little left there

So the last making ceremony was around 15 years ago it read..

Aren't they allowed to make anybody by NY like Pittsburgh for example?

Or is there nobody to recruit in KC?

Or do the guys that are still left don't want to take the risk to let other people in on their organization?

Probably a combination of the last two.

I think that in KC there no more italians that want to be made.

Thanks Ivy, your word is Gospel about OC to me

I'm sure Scott is getting some traffic on his site with the entertainment style of writing that appeals to a wider audience and I'm all for anyone making a buck. With Capeci slipping there is not much left out there besides Anastasia imo.

The website looks very professional indeed, especially if you compare it to sites like cosanostranews for example..

It's user friendly and very appealing to the eye and the writing is also very good imo..

There is still a very large Italian Community in KC, there is just nothing really to be recruited too.

is KC where Agnello got busted?

Or maybe it was Cleveland

Just remember it was somewhere with a close to extinct family and people were saying he would have needed permission to operate still lol

Cleveland.

kc is gone as a family ... as seen in buffalo, pittsburgh, milwaukee, ohio, nola, cali ... detroit is ready to join them

if we count small-time book-n-shy ops as "families" then the feds should re-establish lcn squads coast to coast, border to border
