There is no mafia in Buffalo. The old timers are all dead or dying like Calzone Falzone, Lead Pipe etc. butchie bifocals and Bobby snowball are getting old. There is no talent to draw from in Buffalo. It's a small city. This isn't NYC. Even if it was relaxed as just having an Italian Surname/father, where are you finding young ambitious money hungry young males of Italian descent ? Going to school or working legit that's what, not join a dead end family. There is little $ in Buffalo now a days. Who would honestly kick up in their right mind now a days? Like some 20 something is going to give a sizeable nut every week to his capo he hardly knows for what reason ? This isn't the 70s or 80s, there are virtually no mob hits in America anymore period. What was there, Meldish 5 years Ago? Canadian mafia have more whacking.
