I think Giancana moved near Cicero during the early 40s when he was released from prison. The same time when many Taylor St veterans such as Mops Volpe and Sylvester Agoglia began entering northern Cicero.Snakes wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 1:53 pm
Even though Pranno wasn't a 42'er, the available records point to Giancana being associated with him as far back as the 50's. I can't recall when Giancana moved out of the Patch so I can't say for certain if they were acquainted from their childhood, not to mention the age discrepancy you mentioned. Maybe Giancana became more closely associated with him in the late 40s, early 50s. If he thought highly enough of him, that may have influenced his decision to send him out the suburbs where it was more uncharted territory and he could get a chance to prove himself.
Again, good job on part 2
