hello pizza, no never heard of him..he had to be real close to a nice guy to get that job..lock money..

That's the Coach. Mickey's still alive and well across the street .

They're both dead so it doesn't matter. But he was around Danny Squire. He had an office at the old Riddler's on Westchester Avenue.

today i wouldn't be surprised if the exhumed some guys and indicted them..it's slow out there. no big drug cases or murders.

It's true. Makes you wonder how much they regret hitting guys years ago. They're still making a living even without getting heavy (most of the time, anyway). Because when you hit a certain age you start to regret all the lost time you spent inside.

It sure is quiet out there.

Crea, Cefalu, Westside.

Not a murmer.

Hell of a run....

very true, the animals are gone..gas..sammy ect..

Guys like that can survive on their old reputations. Stevie for instance. I wish I had a dollar for every article I've read that calls him white collar. And don't get me wrong, it's true. Today it's true. But if you knew him thirty years ago you'd be singing a different song. The guy is fucking fearless.

Anyway, like I said. These guys are older with reputations that will follow them around for the rest of their lives. But the guys who are 40 today, and never even cracked an egg, it makes you wonder in they'll be as feared when they're in their 60's. Personally, I just don't see it.

you are correct, in time a guy that wants to be a lion will step up and make a challenge to the new guard..that 40 group ..it is just history..it repeats..a i. e. gotti or a casso may be festering some place

Allways wondered about Crea,was he related to someone?I mean he was made rally early.I think we mentioned him once before PB on the forum,he was a Yonkers guy,right?

PS Love the new haircut

alfa, I managed a pawn shop for 20 years, we charged 20% interest a month. and the interest didn't come off the principal.

it was completely legal. and I was writing loans from when we opened til when we closed. nowadays payday loans are the sharks, and juice guys,

some states ban payday loans, under ussery laws, they charge more interest than loan sharks and they are legal, go figure.

Andrew Cuomo banned the payday loans here in New York. And yet his asshole father actually denied the existence of the Mafia as recently as the '80s.

Not that I'm in favor of payday loans. I'm just pointing out the liberal hypocrisy that's so rampant in the Cuomo family. They're self hating Italian Americans to the nth degree.

yes, you are quite right pb, however new Yorkers keep electing them.
