"I doubt that Printers Alley would rival Newport dince it is literally an alley and only about 2 blocks long"
Rivaled is a word of "perception".
Printers Alley had dozens of illegals over the years. Big names, federal indictments, violence, etc.
In the 50's the Uptown Club was reportedly visited often by Mickey Cohen of Los Angeles.
Meyer Harris "Mickey" Cohen was part of the second generation of gangsters that came after the likes of Al Capone and the old Mustache Petes. Mickey Cohen was Ben “Bugsy” Seigel’s darker half. While Bugsy dined with Hollywood’s royalty and bedded the stars, Mickey emptied their safes and broke their bones.
If you read "Illegal Of The Day Tennessee" posted on 8-16-10 you might understand my "rivaled" word a little better.
