It has been for a while now, but the rackets were booming for a century because there was a lot of work there for many years in the auto, steel and manufacturing arena. Located halfway between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, both families plus Buffalo and Detroit fought for control over the lucrative rackets. The last boss, Lenny Strollo, turned states evidence and it was essentially the end of the mafia, happened in 2000. Pittsburgh ended up getting total control which was in the neighborhood of $30 million per year, $20 million alone from the All American Club, which was the largest illegal casino in the country.
