Anyone know of any discussion forums for 1910-1950 organized crime history?

During prohibition liquor was run from Canada through every major port of entry and border stations across the northern states. All transactions in cash. Bound to be some stories of caches. Check local historical societies, police blotters, newspapers,etc. Side note: my grandfather ran an auto repair shop in San Diego during prohibition. He built false containers in doors and trunks in Cadillac’s, etc to transport booze across Mexican border. He made enough cash to buy a 600 acre homestead in Oregon.

There are some old car bodies in the Detriot river ... And tales of bootleggin going back and forth.

Might be a good idea to do a recon using horses. They had to have a source of fresh water
Good luck,, sounds like fun.
