Absolutely. In fact, I added the green smiley to the end of my post, hoping to convey that I was DEAD serious.

The drug, mob, and underworld culture of these cities interest me. I dont do drugs and am not apart of any mob but reading about Al Capone and these average men that controlled the streets of cities like these is baffling while also intriguing. I placed SF there because it has everything that makes a place a one of a kind IMO
SF also had a mob presence, albeit a much smaller one.

San Francisco crime family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The real mob in SF though is the Triads... they really did run the streets of San Francisco and control the flow of drugs into it.

Any city with a port has mob history.

Pretty much. Las Vegas didn't have a port though and they had a far more significant mob presence than SF.

It's not on the list. Sorry, you lose!

Savannah is beautiful, I will admit. But c'mon...who really needs Savannah when you've got New Orleans and Charleston?

I think people tend to forget about Honolulu (and Hawaii in general). It's a very different place from the rest of the US.
