Speaking of Ducktown, great write up in The Press of Atlantic City today on Angeloni’s .

Write up is spot on, Alan has told me a lot of Scarfo stories over the years at the bar when hes in a good mood and he feels like it, you can really get a sense of what the 80s were like in Ducktown with Scarfo living next door in that neighborhood from his stories he’s told me. Must have been absolutely wild times!

Made me laugh when he was quoted in the newspaper saying that the neighborhood went from Italian to “American” LMFAO that’s a funny Joke I caught!

The article says that the previous restaurant in Angeloni’s building was Madrid Club owned by Parisi’s. I wonder if those are same Parisi’s that are Nicky Jr’s first cousin that was in his AC crew , JP John Parisi?

JP is out of prison now after his Firstplus sentence , he’s been like a ghost you don’t hear or see him anywhere on the island (AC/Margate/Ventnor) , even in the summer. He was always a Nicky Jr guy and also Nicky Jr’s First Cousin so I can’t see him being involved anymore, but would wonder if he did jump back in if Philly would try to absorb him (if they haven’t already) like they did with the other guys in Nicky Jr’s crew like Sammy Piccolo , Pelullo, and the Rat Persiano. JP has always been based out of AC.

Fun fact about Madrid Club in Atlantic City was that it was where Leonetti and Scarfo cut the deal with Michael Matthews to financially support his Mayoral run for office which he ultimately won in a second, run off election and then basically gave Scarfo and Leonetti control of the Atlantic City Mayor’s Office via sweetheart land deals. Mayor Matthews wound getting jammed up by the FBI for this with Leonetti.

No Dante

You would be surprised how big Matthews family is / was and the way that all went down.

JP is not here for good reasons.

Lots of people had blood here and stayed with family over summers . He is older then i he was not in our neighborhood coming up in 50’ - 70’s after Nick he was there looking for work ... but not a local.

Yes he was around later ... but not a local .... his step kid was around and had a thing for jr.

He would stay at little rooming houses in Ducktown ( like Nicks mothers )but this is all after.

Back in the day when casinos first came a regular guy just gambling a little $$$ at say Playboy could be comped Friday and Saturday and get a discount room for 18$ a night Sunday- Thursday .... anyone could live at a casino ... and many did .

Where’s JP at these days? Why did he have to leave town? I was told he was still in the area nearby in Brigantine just laying low but no one really hears or sees him ever anymore on the Island

There is bad blood with some in Lukes and of course Philly he has a X and a adult child in Florida.

Nick sr, wife ( Mimi) and Johnny’s mother were sisters.

Such a terrible place now .... its hard to believe when you knew everyone in the city ... now there are maybe 5 left.

Lots of cousins that knew who was who in philly .... but there were places here that old timers still hung and talked about who’s who to there kids and grandkids ... there was a lot of that .... you know stay away from this guy ... and never go near that guy stuff ,,,,
