Stories abound about legendary New York City gangsters like "Lucky"
Luciano, but Buffalo has housed its fair share of thugs and
mobsters too. While many were nothing more than common criminals or
bank robbers, a powerful crime family headed by local boss Stefano
Magaddino emerged in the 1920s. Close to Canada, Niagara Falls and
Buffalo were perfect avenues through which to transport booze, and
Magaddino and his Mafiosi maintained a stranglehold on the city
until his death in 1974. Local mob expert Michael Rizzo takes a
tour of Buffalo's mafia exploits everything from these brutal
gangsters' favorite hangouts to secret underground tunnels to
murder.
