The crime families in New Orleans were no joke, the Gambino family had a pretty tight rule for a hot minute, but a lot of the brothels were ran by some pretty incredible women. The entire history of New Orleans is fucking incredible.Yes, and according to family legend...it was the birthplace of the mafia in the us...i used to hear stores during sunday dinner how NOONE from any family ANYWHERE could come to NOLA w/o his approval...
@AgonyandIrony ...is a transplant and his some historical insights to NOLA
Check out the books The French Quarter and Empire of Sin, both really really well written and comprehensive. French Quarter is my favorite, the flotilla brothels where nine men a day went missing and the river pirate stuff is wild.
