Mark I don't think they ever got anything on it.

PP there are not any Italian neighborhoods left. Bridgeport is it in the sense of a neighborhood like Brooklyn or he Bronx and I would guess its less than 10 percent Italian. There are a lot of Italians in the suburbs but they re ll third, fourth generation. They aren't gonna be any more inclined to go break some dude's kneecaps than a fourth generation Irish person is to join the IRA.


I see what you're saying, but my point was more that there are tons of italians in Chicago. For the outfit to just disappear would be strange. The italian hoods in NYC are disappearing, but OC is still strong there.
