For those who don’t believe that innocent-looking stores can’t be fronts, I remember that my down-and-dirty pizza place for years - 44th & 2nd Avenue - turned out to be a front for cocaine production! That stuff posing as 00 flour was actually something more sinister.
I’m not sure if any of this is true but I wouldn’t put anything past anyone. Dennis Hastart and John Podesta were camp counselors on a Japanese Island???
