It can go either way. How does someone like Chicago, posting on an internet forum, know so much about the Outfit and its structure and its dark secrets from 1960-1990? A lot of the info is not available just anywhere. Yet he knows...was he a street tough?

I was at a local bar with some friends having some beers and started talking to some of the other neighborhood guys and Outfit stuff came up. These guys knew quite a few of the names that have been mentioned in these threads and had stories about them...you'd be surprised at who knows who and what in these neighborhoods. Interesting stuff. And I'm the furthest thing from a street tough lol.
