PP, The South Side is operating like normal. The North Side is not involved with them and as far as I can tell, receives nothing. DiFronzo Brothers, Andriacchi & D'Amico are all extremely wealthy and do not want to spend the rest of their lives in prison. It's like the Star Quaterback (DiFronzo) quit the team to go play golf instead of risking injury and then a few of the other good players on the team quit with him. Now, the second string team is on the field.
I find it hard to believe there's no gambling or loansharking up north
the northside is where all the money is at and has been for years
not too mention that they can legally obtain money from poker machines
Only the most desperate among mankind would be so unwise as to take a loan out from a loanshark these days. Even the userous interest rates from the payday loan companies is the bargain of the century compared to the vig!
As far as gambling, I imagine most of it has also moved online.
Harry Aleman in his last interview said there was no bookmaking left in the city and if there was any, it was with a few old Jews on the north side.
Of course that is coming from Harry Aleman, so must be taken with a grain of salt, but I still thought it was an interesting comment.
