The Dragna era was the golden era. I've lived in this city since 2018 and had conversations with a few old timers. It's funny, there's a lot of guys from Brooklyn in LA. I know one guy who owns a pizzeria in Sherman Oaks who grew up in Park Slope and was around the Persicos. He said he left Brooklyn because he was tired of getting photographed by the police lol

But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
