Las Vegas Review-Journal – Shadow and light converge on Mob Museum Las Vegas Review-Journal – Shadow and light converge on Mob Museum Shadow and light converge on Mob Museum No one can blame the guy for being curious. It turns out not all the mobsters were in display cases Tuesday morning at the grand opening of the sparkling National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement. The Mob Museum does a spectacular job of hauling into custody the major elements of the violent American criminal subculture, but it appears one tough customer slipped the dragnet. Moving from shadow to light through the crowd of well- wishers, reporters and gawkers was none other than New England mafia figure Vinny Ferrara. The man once known as “the Animal” kept a low profile during the ceremony.

Mayor announces efforts to fight violence and repair Portland s brand at Friday s City Club address.
At Friday s State of the City program, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler hammered on pro-business, anti-violence themes while promising increased police oversight, saying I believe 2021 will be a year of recovery.

Portland is here to stay.
We are a city of strong, determined and creative people. While last year s challenges tested our resolve, we have the opportunity and responsibility to shape and build a brighter future. To get there, I m focused on three priorities in my second term: homelessness, community safety and livability.
Homelessness continues to be Portlanders top concern. While we made important progress in my first term, the challenge evolved, and our tools must evolve with it. I see what you see: too many Portlanders living outside.
