Gambling ,Prostitution, Loan Sharking at one time you could find it all in Pittsburgh's South side up into the 80s There was a notorious After Hours club known as the Lotus Club. along the 2300 block of Sydney Street
Little did people know when it first opened just what would go on there once the clubs charter was taken over by the mob
27rooms to do what ever floated your boat when it came to gambling and other vices
Run by Chester Stupak considered the king of Dice Games the club operated with impunity from law enforcement .
I spent a lot of time in South side as a teenager attending South Vocational High School in 76
where i went for Electrical wiring Courses and never knew about it.
If you would like to learn more about it a walking tour of mob activities in the south side is run occasionally
