Former bookie recounts past life working with the Chicago mob and how he got out

I know it's cliche at this point to call it a bygone era, but of just 20-some years ago. All those areas are now filled with luxury condos: Greektown, Fulton district, Cabrini, etc. I knew Giancana was originally from the near the Maxwell market, but I did not know that Spilatro's family was from Greektown. I thought they were always Elmwood Park, or at least Grand Ave. boys from the start.

Also, wow! At actually implying the Cubs threw games at the Outfit’s behest. Is it blasphemy for me to say for the North Siders,”Say it ain’t so, Joe.”
