Nice pics.

From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

I love looking at old-timey pictures like this; there's a really good one of Nino Gaggi and his extended family in Murder Machine. The guy on Persico's left kind of looks like a young Ron Previte.

Last one is a rare picture of Angelo Sepe, one of the Lufthansa suspects. Killed in 1984.

I've done a little research on Theresa Ferrera..she wasn't an innocent chick..she also did some drug dealing for certain members of the luccs….ran around w/ some unsavory characters...but ...man.... , was she hot ..used 2 b a Penthouse model..

I didn't want to leave blood on your carpet...

In light of the new trailer just released for "The Irishman" starring Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, I thought I'd share some rarely before seen photographs of the individuals being portrayed by the main cast:

To the right is Shady Records rapper Conway The Machine, also a Buffalo native.

Here's another interesting look how Big Joe runs his legitimate business:



Joe appears between 1:15 and 3:15 of the above video, showing he is old school to the bone.

Holy crap!

Where Did you get this?
Do you have more?

This is very rare.....never seen this.

These guys were left on corner of Schenectady Ave off Ave M.
Just a few blocks from the Gemini Lounge.


Little bit of digging around. Ask and you shall receive. Maybe we can put a picture next to his Wikipedia Page Now.

Picture is of Frenchy McMahon in 1975.


Wow.... strange pic. Did not know either one of them but seen him once in real life.
Dead in front of my House.

The car they were in was right across the street from my house, I walked out of my house on my way to school early that morning, lit a smoke and noticed a kid from down the next block looking in the car and then swiftly running back home. I crossed the street , peered into the drivers side of the car and saw two men who had obviously been whacked.

Ran back into my house and woke everyone who was not up and told them what was out there, we went back outside and several minutes later NYPD was shutting it down, asked my Mother if they could use the phone to set up a base and she said “ NO, Get the fuck out of my house”. Someone had already let them in to use the phone once but she shut that down.

We had many friends and FAMILY on both sides of the LAW at the time and would never choose sides for good reasons.






I read in Sammy Bulls autobiography he said he was among the onlookers who gathered around after the cops
showed up and started securing the scene. I thought that was interesting.

Not impossible, even likely. The street we were on had several made guys from various families on it and Wild Bill Cutolo lived right around the corner on 48th St in that year and for many more after.

A year earlier in 1949 he committed his first murder. He served 6 years released in '57. A little known fact, he came from a Greek immigrant family.
