As far as hangouts. I live in the Grand and Ogden neighborhood and have worked in that neighborhood for 8 years. There used to be a social club a the corner of Grand and may st and you would see a lot of old timers from the Grand Ave crew outside. La Scarola and Richards is a hangout for Albert Vena and Bobby Dominic. Some of the Rush St. restaraunts have a lot of outfit money involved. I believe the Cozzos still have the big place at grand and ogden.


The Grand & May Social Club was the "Boomerang Social Club." I played on their softball team years ago. Dominic Calarco was the President. He was also the one who hid Joey Lombardo in 2007 around Family Secrets. The club was for "members" after 4pm but during the day, it was used by the GAC and everyone from Vena to Spina to Cozzo to Andriacchi would come there to meet.

This was Christy & Vena's Bar a few years ago that got written up in Chicago Magazine and quoted Christy:

Now the bar operates as Aberdeen Tap and Christy still holds court here: http://www.theaberdeentap.com/

This is Cozzo's pool hall about a block away from Aberdeen:

Phil had his welcome home party at this pool hall over the summer when he was released from prison.

They also own a piece of the Burger Baron:
