To echo what Chicago has been saying, it seems the North Side guys (i.e. the Elmwood Park crew) are more interested in legit or quasi-legit stuff now. Of course we all know about DiFronzo's companies, D&P Construction and JKS Ventures. Involvement in the trade show business is also evident. Law enforcement has said the North Side also likes to invest in strip clubs and restaurants. And then, for what it's worth, there was Fosco's allegations about the DiFronzos and Central Grocers. It's hard to ignore the lack of examples of street rackets involving Elmwood Park guys in recent years.
