Nola needs one big crime boss like Pablo Escobar.

Pablo killed all his rivals and made crime non-existent in his hometown outside of his drug trafficking shite. If you committed a crime in Medellin, you weren't worried about getting arrested. You worried about your balls being cut off and shoved down your throat in the town square.

The hero we need, but don't deserve.

Negative.

The local government does more dirt than the current Mafia if that makes you feel any better.

Mosca's and Venizia's used to be active.
One family still owns some touristy places.
That said foreign gangs run more now.

Most mafia leaders cared about their communities. They protected their neighborhoods.

The local government does not give one shred of shite about their communities.

My dad always tells me stories about how he hung out with the Marcello’s as a boy.

New Orleans had a very big Sicilian immigration in the late 1800's to about 1920. The yat accent doesn't sound southern, it is a mix of Italian and Irish. Much like the Brooklyn accent.

Went to a wedding once, a cousin married into the Family, at the reception, Metairie CC, there were Feds in the trees taking pictures. This was 1969.

Most Manhattan bosses lived in Staten or New Jersey. A boss doesn't have to live in his city.

I'll add that to the list of reasons never to move to New Orleans.
