Yeah, I knew if there was any, it would be small time stuff, especially compared to Chicago or the Northeast. There is a noticeable Italian population in Sacramento, though. A lot of Italian owned businesses that go back generations. Sacramento, the actual city, has a very old downtown with a waterfront, a lot of old buildings. The port of Sacramento had to have been active in the early to mid 1900s as there wasn't as much freight transported by truck then. There was a little bit of business and some unions, so I'm sure there was a connected guy or two out here.

Regarding San Francisco, should be noted that Frank Lanza, the SF boss in the 1930s, co-founded Fisherman's Wharf. The San Francisco family is sanctioned by the commission. In the mob's heyday they must have had some pull. In 1957, SF underboss and Frank Lanza's son, Jimmy Lanza, was one of the unlucky fellas caught at Appalachian.

According to wikipedia, the SF family was low key, business oriented. LA's Jimmy "The Weasel" Fratianno moved to the SF bay area when getting out of prison, and Lanza wanted him out, because he was bringing too much heat to the region.
