Gets,

I don't understand SC message at all, meant to ask that myself. I would say Nashville is somewhat on par because of this excerpt from a book : https://books.google.com/books?id=1ZR9AA...QIVFFhjCh2FNApq

Nashville's number racket have been active up 2003, by 2004 Tennessee State Lottery.

Yes I read about Robert Church and read from a different book through google sample books. Memphis had a Cartel of corrupt businessmen/politicians, Irish gangsters/racketeers had major influence until some Italians interrupted them, and eventually we get to Black racketeers as well.

The author of Kings reason for making the book is the reason why I started take an interest in Organized Crime as well. So much intel on other groups but barely know any of my own pre 60s. It's still debatable due to the overt discrimination by criminologist & law enforcement.
