Only return back to philly was for his fathers funeral on broad street but If I remember correctly I think superstorm sandy was here in philly them so he stuck around for longer than expected ... First mob hit in a while happened not long after (dipietro) - coincidence ? Times have changed though. Sure a body dropped but people heard it and saw it. The assassin(s) got caught.

Some people just arnt biz savy. Wheres he getting these fancy cars seems like the rich guys are lending him. All scarfo young guys are in real estate or the narduccis and there clubs and pawnshop. Philly posters have pointed out there doin legit things. What have we heard of joe seems like his living the high life he did after the stanfa war.clubs,cars,girls. Good for him.those 90ty philly turks are all.killers just like scarfos kids. I wonder if scarfo or sr.merlino approved long johns hit. No way in hell did Joey need scarfos approval for anything Scarfo had no power by then and besides he wanted Joey dead

from what i understand(which maybe wrong) was that long john wanted to take over the family when he came out of prison, so uncle joe being acting boss definatly had the authority to take him out if he thought long john was a threat to him. yeah thats pretty much it some people also say its cause they blame him for crow flipping, and probably some jealousy over the amount of money long john made because none of those guys could earn like he did

That stuff i know , My backdoor came out to scarfos courtyard.I have known them since 1970 .What i was asking is Joey he would come down each summer and him and jr. were the best of buds . But after like 86 he never came around. I know why but i am talking about him as an adult.As a kid he was an complete idiot.He would steel start fights with kids that nicky hung with everyday,He was just one of them jerkoffs.But like i said he was gone because of his dad and sr but when they all got pinched it was over there.You did not see hardly anyone but blood family . That sounds like something out of lenonetti's new book

The hell with the condo. Scarfo had the right idea, a nice house right on the water with a beautiful boat in the back yard. Hell if i had that i'd never go back to philly. But unfortunately for Merlino he doesn't have the money that Scarfo was reeling in. Well he'll have to wait and earn that or mooch off some guy that's half-a-fag to buy him another car or house. Look what happen to Scarfo Jr. is really worth to live it up like that for what 3-4 years then times that amount of time by 10 ...he'll be sitting in prison for at least 20-25 years with this case coming up.

Actually Scarfo Jr is looking at 2 big cases. The bust with the Lucchese guys and that bank fraud or whatever it was case. With his priors he's going to come out of prison an old man if he goes down on both cases which i think he will. No, i agree with you. It's most definitely not worth it. I've mentioned that in past threads. How guys sitting in a cell for 20+ years can think it was worth it no matter how much they made is beyond me.

Island : I did not read all of that book but i think that Phil said that they sneek out an ally to Florida ave.And he would to park Nickys caddy most of the time.....But i don"t think he said that 26 and 28 Goriga ave. at the front {is east}to the sides and rear of the two property"s had a block concrete wall 8ft tall{that would be south west and north } but that was put in around 1979 . Before that had a regular wood fence .You could jump the fence and go {south}to atlantic ave {north to artic ave.} or {west} out the back to Florida ave. or you could go {north} to half street and go in the back door at {club Madrid}then in 1978 Allen Angeloni bought it and remodeled it and named it Angeloni"s....did he say that ? I did read my name in his book but he was nice...more?
So you grew up down AC I'm assuming you didn't go to Stockton
