I found this interesting story in the online Crime Magazine about the Mafia and the River Quay.

On another note, I miss the old faded "Come See River Quay" sign that was painted on the side of the building on Main. I think the City should commission someone to paint a new one somewhere.

I picked up a book a couple of years ago called "Tales of River Quay:  A New Old Towne" written by Marion A. Trozzolo.  He was the primary land owner and landlord for the businesses down there.  Very interesting. 

There are books on the River Quay.

The movie Blackhand Strawman covers a lot of that era and geography from the late 19th century through the 1980's.
