I grew up in Salt Lake. It's not a very "mob" town. But my parents put me in a private elementary school, and there was this one kid who went there who arrived every day in a chauffered limo. Rumor was that his dad was the mob boss of Salt Lake. To us, though, he was just another kid - never beat up anybody, never threatened anybody, not treated any different from anyone else. Come to think of it, he may have kept to himself more than most, but I wasn't very socially cued in, so I can't be sure.

Eventually his dad went on the run. There were occasional reports that he'd been seen in a casino in Vegas for a few years, then nothing.

So even places that aren't mob territory still had some mob presence.
