Prince Mongo City Council How serious was Prince Mongo? I have no idea. However, in a city where they dug up a Civil War graveyard mound to build a Piggly Wiggly supermarket (thus leaving its marker stone on a patch of lawn that’s stranded halfway up the outside wall, neatly fenced-in by decorative breeze blocks), Prince Mongo would probably do as good a job as any wannabe Boss Crump, Memphis’s infamous mayor of the '40s and '50s.
