that house of vinny is that the same house next to the water that he was constructing? the one where cicale was saying that vinny wanted to whack the contractor cause he messed up the house or soemthing like that...
I never read that, but yeah, that's the house. If you're ever in the area, it's the last house on Revere Avenue, on the left side as you head toward Marina del Ray.
As far as whacking the contractor, God only knows. I do recall that he wanted to take down some trees for a better view of the water. The problem was, they weren't on his property, and his neighbors were opposed to the idea. I know a few people were threatened. I also know that the trees came down while the people who owned the property were on vacation, and "no one knew nuttin."
And let's be honest, that was a bully move that affected people who had absolutely nothing to do with "business." A perfect example of why these guys can't be viewed as Robin Hood.
