So where does the Chicago Outfit hang out these days? (Rome: 2009, shop)

"Some of them had 3 phones just for themselves. I always thought that was weird. Who needs 3 phones all with different numbers?"

One to get calls from their wife, one for their girlfriend's calls,and one for their bookie.

I heard the old timers hold court at Loon Cafe in River Grove.

The question is best answered with the phrase:
"Who wants to know?"

BTW, it's easier to let them find you. Let's see, oh, I think hiring non-union construction workers should lure a few over your way. They'll all drop in at once to have a little chat.

It would be using non union laborers that would get you whole set of "new friends"!

I think there is a Chinese Mafia in Chinatown, since its a tourist area, they are low key. Chicago gave up its Mafia Capital title long time ago, and NYC and parts of NJ have a greater Mafia/Mob presence. You can also include LA, if you consider the Mexican Mafia a real Mafia.

the the real mafia is based in Italy, from where they smuggle drugs and slaves all over the world.

The "last supper " photo youre referring to was taken at the Sicily Restaraunt, which was on the Chicago of Harlem Avenue just south of Diversey. Now its some kind of pizza place and an empty storefront. It was a much darker quieter place run by the Incandella family. We ate there often when I was a kid because the owners lived a few doors away from me, and I spent alot of time playing with their daughters. Ill never forget the night Tony Accardo ate at the next table. My mom was so nervous, but the big goons at the front and rear of the restaraunt plus his own frew guys dining with them made it feel pretty safe to me. Then again, I was maybe 10. Just FYI.

He was actually in an alley on the 2300 block of 74th Avenue about a block from Armand's. But yeah, he did frequent the place, and is rumored to have met with Rosemont's Mayor Stevens there. Also, Armand's is where the famous "Last Supper" photo was taken with all of the mob capos eating together.

The Outfit on trial: The Last Supper or the making of Lombardo?
