Just FYI - I grew up outside Chicago. This is nothing new to me. As far as the Italian Mob back in Capone’s day, but not there now? Surely you jest.
As far as Irish-Catholics and Jews at the exchanges? Seriously??? As a former Cook County Irish-Catholic you’re barking up the wrong tree there. That’s just offensive!
Sorry not trying to smear anyone but this is stuff I read a few years ago having to do with the exchanges.
So who is the power in the town - I had always heard the Daley clan owns Chicago. One of teh reasons the Kennedys also owned (past tense) the Merchandise Mart was Irish-Catholic power in the city. I assume Daley is Irish. If I am smearing then I am smearing myself.
Last time I was there - my impression is there is lots of eastern Europeans now.
