Taylor street & Melrose park are just Italian neighbourhoods now, there are no crews there anymore. Cicero is very strange. The name of the crew is Cicero, but there is no business conducted in Cicero and no Italians live there anymore, they just run the town & tax the Hispanics that live there now, and the Cicero crew operates out of SW burbs.

Skids Caruso was a guy from Taylor st, strong made guy out of giancanas 42 gang. Sam gave him Chinatown when the Italians first settled into that area and Skids made it his own, married into the roti family I believe, and the rest is history. His son & namesake, you know who, current king of Chinatown is the Caruso most think of when they hear the name these days. Lapietra mentored Skids kids well and always kept them relevant down there. Skids is a legend and one of the most well respected guys in the history of the thing, tough guy, so are his kids.
