Youngstown, Ohio, was once a thriving city. At the turn of the century, the steel mills stretched as far as the eye could see. Not surprisingly, with all the money being made, Youngstown attracted the attention of the mob.... more » And when the U.S. steel industry crashed in the 1970s, taking Youngstown's economy with it, the Mafia became even more powerful, for they had the ability to help out those who were willing to play by their rules.
CITY CONFIDENTIALTM reveals how it all unraveled for the Youngstown mob in 1996, when a new county prosecutor took office. Paul Gains was not interested in working with mobsters, so the local boss, Lenny Strollo, decided he had to be eliminated. But during the hit, which took place in Gains's house, the shooter's gun jammed and he fled. Gains had been shot twice, but survived. And before another attempt could be made on his life, he got a call from a mobster's ex-girlfriend, who fingered the hit team. Ever since then, it's been tough to be a wiseguy in Youngstown.
