Say what you want about The Outfit. I am NO damn Outfit groupie but Cicero was DEFINITELY a safer place when they were powerful. Their demise in the late 80's and early 90's in that neighborhood coincided with the rise in the Hispanic gangs that moved into Cicero with the change in demographics. No that is not a racist statement, THAT IS A TRUE STATEMENT. Hell, my child is half Hispanic..:) The gangs and the drugs got out of control in that neighborhood and the boys from the Big Top on Austin and Roosevelt NEVER would have allowed that. Not because they were moral and just people - THEY WEREN'T - but gang shootings and drugs bring too much heat so examples would have been made of those gangs real quick
