That's for sure. Philly has actually had quite a few notorious mafia families. The mafia still has a presence there today even though it is not what it used to be in the 50s through the 80s. We even had a well known mafia presence in the medium-sized Pennsylvania city that I was born/raised in a few hours from Philly (rather not say the exact name of my city or the mafia family 😉). The mafia really is an East Coast thing, from I'd say Baltimore all the way through Boston. 😉 In recent decades the Eastern Europeans have also established some mafia-like organizations as well.

Philadelphia has mobsters as well. Actually, I have a coworker who is older now and he was in witness protection after getting out of prison. He was a hitman and was arrested for killing union leader John McCullough. He was only paid five grand. The stories this guy tells at work are insane. he’s even in a National Geographic episode called Philadelphia meth kings
