Description
In 1964 the FBI taped Milwaukee's mob bosses, and on that tape an old man begs his son-in-law, the new boss, to spare two men. "I beg you like a son." They were fighting over something else too: the old man's restaurant. It's still open.
This is Milwaukee's mob as a restaurant map. Snug's and Leonardo's, where the FBI's 1979 bugs picked up thousands of conversations. The Sciortino's Bakery bombing on Brady Street. Pitch's Lounge. Sally's Steak House, Gallagher's and Giovanni's. A Bay View spot with a Godfather sign and a regular nobody expected. Every stop comes with a receipt: FBI files, court records and the Milwaukee papers' own reporting.
