I should've just asked, what was the time period of this film? Just a point to note after the turn of the century, along with the 5 Points Gang, this area (& a few others like Hell's Kitchen) & these gangs produced the likes of Arnold Rothstien (he fixed the 1919 Black Sox's game) & with him came (under AR's Wing) Charles "Lucky" Luccciano, Mayher Lansky & Buggsy Seagle (the latter 2 both originally of the Bugs & Mayher gang), among others. Lucky was famous at forging criminal enterprizes as was the finicial genius, Mayher. So it could probably be said of this area that it may be the birth place of America's organized crime syndicate.
