UPDATE: The event was canceled Tuesday.
Ohio organized crime enthusiast and expert Allan R. May is making a few educational stops in the Mahoning Valley this upcoming month.
First up, he’ll be in Boardman in November to discuss select subjects of his books on local history.
He’ll be discussing his book, Welcome to the Jungle Inn: The Story of the Mafia’s Most Infamous Den.
Welcome to the Jungle Inn is about organized crime centered around the Jungle Inn gambling den in Warren.
The presentation is happening at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 at the St. James Meeting House in Boardman Park.
The meeting house is located at 375 Boardman-Poland Road.
It’s free and open to the public. There will be a question-and-answer period after the forty-five-minute program.
The author has also written Crimetown U.S.A.: History of Mahoning Valley Mafia, and three other books telling the stories of American organized true crime.
