Florida has a fairly interesting history when it comes to organized crime. Trafficante controlled Tampa for years, and Miami had their fair share of problems with the mob. I was wondering if the mafia ever managed to get a stronghold over Jacksonville during the early part of the century?

Recently I saw a program on WJCT about the Casa Marina (Jax Beach) through the years and apparently the hotel was a regular vacation spot for Al Capone. Not sure if he had a local impact on crime though.
And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

Organized crime here would have too much competition from local government. ;)

No doubt!  Dixie Mafia perhaps.
