New book by Brendan Riley tells the dark side of Vallejo's Georgia Street when mobsters, hookers,
drugs, and gambling were wide open. He mentions guys like Baby Face Nelson, Bill Graham, Jim
McKay, Joe Conforte, Willie and Curly Musso, Norman Reinburg, and Goerge Cannon-guys who
came to Nevada when they closed the place up. There's some neat pictures too. The book should
be of interest to illegal collectors and anyone interested in gambling history.
