lol @ sepp blatter what a pimp, let us know how merlino's is

Pmac just bring the camper with no AC park it 16 blocks west of south beach .Black out a few teeth get on the bike and ride to the beach in cut off jean shorts .

Just had to google Sepp Blatter. Although his name sounds like a bad bladder disability he appears to be an interesting Gentleman of leisure. Man I am stoned...

You'd rather eat one night at Merlino's than stay at a hotel that has un-soiled linens? To each his own.

Anyway, August is part of the slow season so you'll have no problem finding a room. North Beach (Bal Harbour, Surfside, Sunny Isles) is getting almost expensive as South Beach. Mid Beach is your best bet if you're bargain hunting. Either that or just stay in Miami instead of Miami Beach. Just keep in mind that, as long as you're not going down on Labor Day weekend, you can get a great deal at a nice hotel in the late summer.

Oh, just for the record, Merlino's is about an hour's drive from Miami. So don't drink and drive. The unofficial Florida State logo isn't "Arrive on Vacation, Go Home on Probation" for nothing .

I just bought some flowers for her down the shop and the guy had a delray beach shirt on though of you pizza. I was just joking about merlino not stalking like that. That's creepy. But I did hear a rapper say something like ain't no palm trees once you go over that bridge so I staying on the right side of that bridge. So I'll look around mid beach. Fountain blue wasn't that expansive that month probaly cause 50 50 a killer hurricane but that ain't stopping some masshole from taking he drinking talents to south beach. Cheap tickets plane hotel and car under 1k some as low as 6 bills. Its gonna be hot as shit thou. Big thing to alot these hotels don't have parking all shuttles.

And I guess USA beat Netherlands's today boo ya FIFA crime family.

Pizza
I am thinking about buying a condo in pompano beach, del ray beach, or jupiter.
Any thoughts on something in the 350 - 400 k range ?

Hey Belmont,
I have a home in Jupiter and I love it there! Very nice place...

Yep August means school starts back so it's really the perfect time to go. We go to Pensacola Beach (puts all the East Coast beaches to shame) during October and we NEVER have to deal with kids or traffic because everyone is at home in school.

I hear there are some cheap hotels near Carol City






































Just kidding of course.

shit the philly mob operates more like a street gang then most street gangs

i thought it was long stated that the philly mob doesn't have much turf

hence all the power plays, they're wouldn't be so much infighting if they were making money

Dixie I was stationed down there for two years in Pensacola for school in the military. Nice area. The gulf is nice especially that time of year.

Actually, they don't. Street gangs rat on each other left and right. Over a 20 rock. Philly has VERY few rats and Nicodemo is doing time on murder, that would make your average street cronie piss himself.

It has become more and more blatantly obvious you don't know much about the mob, so why continue to make ridiculous comments like they are fact?

The Philly mob has South Philadelphia, Delaware County, and South Jersey, which is enough for a small family. But it has also had the most members flip of any family - I think 16 at this point.

You must be counting associates.

Regardless, Philly and the mob as a whole probably has a single digit(probably low single digit) flip ration from made guys as a hole.

People make it seem like the mob rats left and right.

These days it is obviously more prevalent but the number of total made members is relatively low.

Don't forget the gambling in N NJ too

At times that area has possibly been its most steady with income

Anything sports or gambling connected they likely had a hand in

They are up north also.And not just jersey...

Supposedly that was Natale who ordered Sodano murdered. Joey is said to have set up the murder.

Merlino was pulling the strings on Natale

Didn't Casale tape Caprio and that is why he flipped?

Wasn't Sodano killed because he wasn't kicking up and refused to come when called.

Yup. If you believe Previte, it was Natale who ordered his murder after repeated efforts of getting Sodano to come see him and kick up a portion of his earnings. They supposedly reached some deal and Sodano began kicking up, but still didn't come to AC and see Natale when ordered. And with that Natale & Merlino felt he was holding out, and Natale ordered his death and instructed Merlino to handle it. Merlino planned it out and successfully had Sodano murdered and never informed Natale of the details.

You honestly believe Natale was behind it and not Merlino with the final call? He made Natale for christ sakes lol

Thanks Sinatra, I found this article about that and Pete the Crumb's testimony, It says that Caprio plotted with members of the Gambino and Genovese crime families to take control of the Philadelphia mob. Do you know with who?

http://articles.philly.com/2001-06-08/ne...ny-joey-merlino

I found it. This article identifies the Gambino and Westside guys;
.... that it had involved Caprio and five others. These included Vincent "Beeps" Centorino, a longtime member of the Newark branch of the Philadelphia mob; mob associates Raymond Lepore of North Jersey and Daniel D'Ambrosia, a South Philadelphia bookmaker; and reputed mob members Anthony Proto and Vincent Alberti.

Proto was identified as a leader of a North Jersey branch of the Gambino crime family and Alberti as the head of a North Jersey faction of the Genovese organization, according to federal authorities

Natale himself says he ordered Sodano's murder, even talking about it in that program with Trevor McDonald, but wasn't in on the details on the act himself, which he and other informants have stated Merlino was in charge of. He could be lying for self-gratification, and Previte could be wrong, but Joey also made Natale the boss, at least allowed him to believe he was, despite simply being a lighting rod for law enforcement. It isn't that hard to believe that Natale was the one who initially called for Sodano to be killed.

Of course Natale said all that about himself. He also doesn't believe he was a pawn and front boss. And believed he was the real power and not Merlino.

What is he going to do, sit there and admit he was made a fool of? lol

On another note, next time anyone is in South Philly, I would highly recommend going to Phil Narducci's Cheesesteak stand he owns called "Philip's Steaks" . I think it is the best cheese steak in south philly, they make a good one!

\

That's what I hear

Though someone said he isn't involved with it but his family is.

But I mean it does have his name so who knows lol

It's true that the number of members that flip is actually very small compared to the number of total members. It's just the ones that do get most attention from the press and most of them have done so within the last couple decades.

That said, the Philadelphia family has had 17 members flip:

1. Biagio Adornetto/Soldier (1993)
2. Sergio Battaglia/Soldier (1996)
3. Rosario Bellochi/Soldier (1995)
4. Peter "The Crumb" Caprio/Capo (2000)
5. Nicholas "Nicky the Crow" Caramandi/Soldier (1986)
6. Thomas "Tommy Del" DelGiorno/Capo/Soldier (1986)
7. George Freselone/Capo (Dead) (1990)
8. Salvatore "Wayne" Grande/Soldier (1993)
9. Philip "Crazy Phil" Leonetti/UnderBoss (1989)
10. Robert "Bobby" Luisi Jr/Capo (2000)
11. Lawrence "Larry/Yogi" Merlino/Capo/Soldier (1989)
12. Eugene "Gino" Milano/Soldier (1988)
13. Ralph Natale/Boss (1999)
14. Ronald "Big Ron" Previte/Capo (1999)
15. Gaeton "Tommy Horsehead" Scafidi/Soldier (2000)
16. Rocco Scafidi/Soldier (informant since 1960's)
17. John Veasey/Soldier (1994)
