Among other things that have interested me over the years (the lockstep rise of big-time wrestling and big-time religion), I've thought at times about how cities develop identities and their societies match the identities well. What I mean by that is that a certain type of politician does well in Chicago but wouldn't work out as well in New York, and vice versa. The same is true with other aspects, including the gangsters. Capone was a Chicago kind of guy and Sam Giancana even moreso! Just a thought that passes through what's left of my mind once in awhile.
