I have bad news for Twin Cities goons - it appears that noted "pizza place that often refuses to sell you pizza" - Papa Dimitri's Classic Pizza and Ice Cream - is actually a front for drugs! http://www.startribune.com/local/blogs/297848481.html quote:"On August 19, 2014, a concerned citizen made a report with the St. Paul Police Department that Papa Dimitri's Classic Pizza and Ice Cream located at 466 Hamline Avenue South ... is rarely open and does not seem to do much actual business," said the criminal complaint. "The concerned citizen reported that employees have complained about the heat not working, which the concerned citizen thought odd since the pizza ovens should have provided plenty of heat." That concerned citizen sounds like kind of an rear end in a top hat. Any of you goons got some cool drug fronts you want to tell us about? BONUS: Google street view captures someone leaving the store with what I assume is several kilos of cocaine. https://www.google.com/maps/@44.927196,-93.156841,3a,15y,57.31h,83.97t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sTdMn6VoYg4ppLEiSGL3UKg!2e0!6m1!1e1

I had a bar down the street get shut down for being a drug front under basically the same circumstances. It was in a terrible location for a bar, barely did any business, but stayed open somehow. There's another in town that fits those criteria even more because it's only open like two days a week, but while the owner is definitely shady as hell, I think the bar itself is just a vanity thing he's happy to lose money on.

There was a fried chicken place in manchester (uk) on the 'curry mile' that sold chicken meals for £1 each (other shops sold them for ~£4 for those portion sizes) The shop had a second floor and it was decked out with flat screen tv's. this was in 2009 so dunno if they're still going. No way something druggy/money launder-y wasn't going on. oh and another place opposite my first year university halls got raided for terrorist weapons or some crap (their chicken was pretty bad though so nobody mourned). Moral: Fried chicken places are awesome.

So, this drug op was run by this guy, his girlfriend, his mother, and his grandmother... but it's "his" operation? That's three to one! Can I blame the patriarchy for ruining what could be an awesome story? Drug lord granny running her empire, grooming her daughter to take over the business. They bring in the "naw gal" who has some experience pushing and takes the operation to the next level with a pizza store front. They put the man up front while they work behind the scenes pulling all the strings. Netflix Original

There's this guy fronting a hot dog shack in Reform, AL essentially reheating poor quality food he gets from walmart and no one can figure out how he stays in business. He calls himself "Doobie" which last I checked was slang for a marijuana joint.

Boston is riddled with these fronts. Fenway almost certainly had one on Boylston. fyodor posted:i wonder about the take-out thing with the indian restaurant i mentioned but they have like costco-sized amount of floorspace in a part of town that is really expensive for businesses. Maybe they own it since you said it was 20 years. But yeah I found Indian restaurants to almost always be sized poorly. Too small and cramped or too big and empty. I think it's a Thing.

at the west end of Argyle Street in Glasgow there's a row of three "computer shops" in varying states of dilapidation which have to be fronts for something. the towers they have on display in the windows range from Powermac G3s to mid-2000s Dell shitboxes which haven't changed in the two years I've been regularly walking past them

When I was a kid, my father got a job at a gourmet bakery/coffee shop. This was in 1985, before there was Starbucks, and coffee was mostly something that people got in styrofoam cups at convenience stores. I remember asking him at the time why the coffee shop, which was in a little minimall in a not well trafficked location, and he said "Oh, people can get stuff there that they can't get anywhere else". Even at the time, that sounded a bit mysterious. It was almost 20 years later that I asked him if it was actually a drug front, and he said "No, it was just the only place to get good coffee at the time. But, the owner did open it up with the money he made selling cocaine"

There's loads of barbers here and all they do is skinheads with clippers. They all have identical signs but the name's changed slightly. AKI's AKO'S ALI'S ARO'S ABI'S etc. P. obvious a front.

It could just be I've been a sheltered suburban kid and the worst thing I did was smoke pot in college, but I never saw it coming. It was DEA level poo poo going on. I knew he was an alcoholic and cheated on his wife all the time, its why I assumed he had a second cell phone. He was always leaving work to "go run errands" which I saw nothing wrong with given the nature of what we did (F&B, he'd run to the liquor store or go get some groceries for our specials) but it was like "oh fuuuuck" and I was scared for a bit thinking I was going to get caught up since I bought weed from aforementioned redneck.
