General Chicago Outfit Info Dumping Ground

[Patrickgold]

Someone who knows a bit has told me that a guy named David Duran is allegedly the Cicero crew's inside guy in the Cicero city government and was yet another 12th Street Player. Don't know if this is true or not, but he seems to be an actual city employee so I'll leave it here as a lead for you guys to look into if you want.

There inside guy? The whole Cicero government including mayor Larry Dominic is theirs.

Yeah from what I hear it sounds like Youngstown from before Strollo flipped. Anyway, just thought it was interesting that they allegedly had a former 12th Street Player installed (or is that common practice? lol).

Elmwood Park is the same way with Skip Saviano. It's funny because these are historically italian american suburbs/neighborhoods that are now both like 70% Hispanic, and yet the town governments are just dominated by italians.

Elmwood Park is still majority white even though they have lost some of their Italian character. Hispanics have gained population but are not majority. Melrose Park, Cicero, Stone Park and some others are majority Hispanic

Elmwood Park is still majority Italian/Polish, while becoming more Mexican with each passing year. Melrose Park would be a better example

As of the 2020 census, the village of EP was at 35% Hispanic/Latino (not all Mexican either, of course; I know a bunch of Puerto Ricans from Humboldt Park who have since bought houses in EP). Polish population markedly increased since the 90s, as many of the Italians decamped for towns further out in the burbs, which I presume was what Patrick meant above by noting that EP is still majority white but less Italian than it was historically.

MP is over 75% Latino, while Cicero is ~90% Latino. In both cases, very strongly Mexican. This is for those reading who are from outside of Chicagoland and not familiar with these towns. They are *not at all* what they were like back in the heyday of the mob. EP hasn’t changed nearly as much by comparison. Cicero has one of the highest proportions of Latinos of any municipality in the US outside of CA, TX, or Dade County in Fl (and ranks at the same level as places like Hialeah and Brownsville). Because it’s in Chicagoland, a lot of people around the country I would think are simply unaware of simply how Latino a place like Cicero is today.

I actually found out about this when I moved to Chicago in 2013 and looked everything up about those places due to being a compulsive demography/demographics and urban geography nerd combined with being a mob buff. Was taken pretty aback by it.

The numbers are even worse since those stats either don’t count or under count the massive illegal population.

He is completely insufferable.

[Honk]

Maybe he’ll address the status and organizational chart of the Outfit in 2024

[funkster]

I don’t know he doesn’t bother me, don’t know why he pisses people off so much. He’s just a doof doing a good job promoting his restaurant.

I was OK with him up until the rape charges were posted here - now he's just another scumbag trying to influence people. Will be interesting to see how this plays in Chicago - I don't think the mob is a big thing and there aren't Joey Merlino-type mob celebs walking around there anymore.

Yeah this was my question on the whole podcast thing. Maybe there is truth to the idea that he is not really a made guy as many have claimed, so he is free to do something like this. If the opposite is true, he's certainly the most "public" made chicago outfit member in history. It's undeniable that he hangs around with many made guys and hosts a ton of them at his restaurant.

Although he did directly set up the Carparelli beating, so that's interesting.

OR its 2024, and all rules are off the table for made guys and he can do whatever he wants because no one really cares.....who knows.

He doesn’t bother me either I thinks he’s actually pretty funny and entertaining. He has a great Joe Pesci voice.
