AWESOME. I'd love to see the rest of your writeup, and thanks for the map. I grew up in St. Paul and did a MSP campaign once. Here's my writeup if you want to scour it for ideas; that's definitely what I'll be doing to yours given the chance.

Pretty much just going to possibly introduce Ghost Cartels influence in the underworld and hint toward insect spirits. Vietnamese and Somali/African-American street gangs have organized and merged to create the Stateless Fraternity and take over the human-trafficking and drug trafficking (with a specialty in Awakened narcotics) in the Mplsplex. This created a fierce rivalry with the Ghost Cartels, and crippled an already weak Mafia-presence. However, the Fraternity offered the Mafia a sizable portion of the prostitution trade as an olive branch. The Stateless Fraternity has both strong ties to the Triads and the Vory V Zakone.
North Minneapolis and East St. Paul are homes to the Barrens of the Mplsplex, the Skyway paths in these places are vandalized and in poor shape, and in some places, destroyed. This is the home of the street gangs and go-gangs, but a few hip restaurants and bars have setup out there for street cred, with the appropriate level of security, of course.
I love your idea for Little Caesar's, I might adapt it to Pizza Luce, though, since it's kind of a punk rock place, maybe picked up by Evo? I figure it's spread to all of the major neighborhoods, and it's just kind of an underworld secret that it's corp. territory and friendly to the grittier elements, but has the security to quell any trouble if necessary.
