Go on the rare photos thread mate, Handsome Stevie posted a very recent photo of Dom, got grey hair and looks 45 at least

hahah thanks looked like him maybe a little more weight and it was after a phillies game so....

I remember that and was there for that one. Sonny is an asshole sober or drunk but worse drunk. He is one of
Those guys who you go to shake his hand just to say hi in passing and you will barely get out a hello from him. Ive seen him barely say hello to his wife's family/ friends. And if he was with someone he thought was special and/or you werent with anyone he thought was "special" he was even worse. Just an all around asshole in every sense.

Pure speculation, but I think he was feeling himself around that time. If memory serves me correct, I think he was making more money and had more responsibilities with his brother recently locked up. I thought. He was already made back then but i think I saw other reports to the contrary. That being said, does anyone know the true time, year or group he was made with? In south Philly It was assumed he was made before they got locied up 15 years or so ago

sonny is a crum bum

How can he be such an asshole? Where as his brother is well liked by multiple factions within the Philly family and is the acting boss. Talk about opposites.

Then again, also weird his brother or anyone else did not intervene and stop him from striking her in the first place

Sounds like Sonny might have never been made at all if it wasnt for his brother

At least everyone I heard from. But I also had heard that dom grande was made prior to what recent supports I've seen and also before the speculation in his involvement in the dipietro murder. Dom was always the casual to regular user of born but mainly booze and bud and then later the yizzo but I never heard that it was anything to worry about but that's not to say he doesn't have a problem. Back in the day I could remember seeing him out whacked on what I believe was booze. I've seen him like that a couple times but that was a long time ago now and normally like a wknd thing. He smoked so I thought drinking was wknd and bud during week type thing. But I have no real proof of that. I smoked with him twice though. Once on the corner with a bunch of people and the other time is the opposite of what I said but this was a really long time ago. Over 10 years but not 15 and it was after a bar AT the shore where we each had a friend living so we were both drunk and in early 20s. So that all means absolutely nothing. For all I know he could be jammed up on those roxi 30s like half of south Philly. As pizza says eve seen some people blow up from opiates and benzos depending. ..but Maude its stress from the murder thing or somepeope start not caring and are happy and done care. Maybe his been gray since his 20s and dyeing it lot and now his just eating real good. I guess I just wanted to point out there are a ton of options far his physical appearance. That proves nothing to me

Sorry for grammar and spelling i am getting use to this tablet and hard to go back and edit on this

Is the other Mazzone brother or his son involved in the life or legit?

Dave which Mazzone? If your talking about Anthony Mazzone , he is not made. Anthony Sr and Anthony JR are in a lot of the pictures I previously posted with Steve And Sonny but neither of them have anything to do with the mob as far as I know.

Yes, thanks.

they took over by default, no functioning family would have been taken over like that

the fact they take so many pictures is not only a disgrace to lcn but any criminal organization

they connect the dots for the fbi

Good , old article I found about Joey and his crew:

God, Merlino sounds like such a cheap fuck. He really sounds like a horrible person, even for a mobster.

I seen that picture of Dom. He looks his age. He's not a celebrity so he's not going to get botoxed.

I saw a instragram pic of chickie Chang with Johnny Chang at chickie & petes. The father looks great. Maybe handsome Steve has it and will post it.

flamingo- do you remember the user name from instagram where you saw the pic? or how long ago it was?

Yeah I saw it as well. He actually looks like way better than I expected. Almost looks like he could be in his 60-70s! His involvement actually kind of makes sense now simply based on the fact that he looks pretty healthy.

stevie check your pm.

The Chang Sr pictures popped up on facebook yesterday. He looks great for somebody in his 80's that also spent over 30 in the can. He has that big smile I remembered of him back in the day which in the few pictures around of him back in the 80's isn't really seen.

I haven't seen any pictures at all of George Borgesi since his release aside from the one with his wife upon his release. I'm not big on the social media aside from using facebook so he seems to be a lot smarter than the rest of the guys who if they don't have pages (Merlino) close relatives and friends heavily include them and photos surface. His wife don't have one like Cathy Chang or Wagners wife and as far as I know his brother Anthony does not also.

Thank god we have the Phili guys...

Cuz I don't think we are gonna see any pics of the Gambino and Genovese hierarchies popping up on instagram any time soon.

What influence does scarfo sr still have over guys like phil narducci and joey pung? Do anyone from the streets still keep in touch with scarfo sr?

Anyone get the photo of Chickie?

I'd like to see how prison treated him

Jawon and Omar treated him real well. He ain't gonna be able to sit down for a while though. You dig?

Lol

lol @ moe... and i tried to get the picture but the accounts that flamingo told to me check are both private so i cant access them... and southphilly4ever- borgesi wife alyson has an account but her page is private for both.. if anyone can get the picture all you have to do is save it to your computer and then post it on here.

I heard that Joe Grande kept in close touch with Scarfo after they were all convicted in '89. Leonetti also said that Joe Grande and Nicky Sr would correspond via letters in prison back and forth frequently and Grande would also write to Katherine Scarfo (Nicky Sr's mom) before she passed away. I think I heard, but am not positive, that when Joe Grande got out of jail he sent him with the North Jersey crew so he could keep close tabs on him via Scoops who he trusted to see where his loyalties truly lied and make sure he was on board with the new regime and not still loyal to Scarfo. But I don't know how accurate that last part is because I think I heard that part about being sent to N. jersey crew from this message board. But it would make sense... Anyone know if Joe Grande was or is still in fact in North Jersey operating with that crew? Or is he back in South Philly? Don't hear much about him either. I'm dying to know what's going on with all of the Scarfo era guys who are back on the streets. I have the Chickie pic also and can post just need to figure out how to I've never posted pics on here. I also have some recent pics of Joe Punge and the Blond Babe as well before he passed away.

don't know if anyone can elaborate on this but I thought it was kind of strange... that joe perna talks and hangs out with ray wags.. I heard merlino and perna are buddies but still just seems odd.. a north jersey lucchese and merlinos "bag man" from south philly.
