Boardwalk Empire Season 4 Spoilers: Nucky Travels to Tampa

Nucky’s reign on the Atlantic City throne was nearly ended by his battle with Gyp Rosetti, a man who was inches from seizing control of everything Nucky had worked so long to build for himself, his family, and his colleagues. However, he managed to prevail and keep his chokehold over the continually expanding boardwalk, though it came at the price of his relationship with Margaret. What it did give him was the confidence to know that he can become the full gangster that he rejected for so long and still not lose himself entirely, so with that extra pep in his step, Nucky contemplates cultivating new parts of his empire this season on Boardwalk Empire. One of the first stops? A land deal in Tampa.
