I feel that a majority of people who are not familiar with the LCN in Detroit also forget that most of these older guys in the alleged hierarchy have business degrees. I can't image that tradition would fade away after it worked brilliantly for the elder Giacalone's. I've been living in Michigan my entire life and you guys are right, Detroit is fucked up. No one wants to be on the street waiting for chump change if the next jingle you know you will hear is someone reaching for a piece to put a bullet in your head.
