7. Sounds like the book the movie was based on

It's called "Wiseguy," and it is a fascinating read.

According to it, the mob-controlled neighborhoods were very safe. Gangs, muggers, rapists, dealers etc. stayed the hell away.

The name King's Inn sounds familiar. I think it was mentioned in the book as a mob hangout. The mob kept pretty busy at the airports, though the ones in the book did most of their heists at JFK.
