So what is the LCN status, membership list for the NoLa family? Anyone left? Any info?

I did not know Chaz moved to my old hometown. Queen Latifah and David Bryan from Bon Jovi lives in Colts Neck. Nice place.

I'm not sure if he's still around here, but back in late 90's...,maybe 98 or 99, my husband put pavers at the entrance of his house. That's the only way I knew he was out here. Close to Queen Latifah, but she's since left, I know that for sure.

My grandfather had told me a story of a guy he knew in must of been the 50's or 60's and this guy was an up and coming musician. And the guy was on his way to being a star. So one night this guy was on the road and at a hotel and some mob guys came to his room. They wanted him to sign a contract giving them lots of his royalties or something and he refused and my grandfather said he never became a star and they stopped playing his music on the radio.

my friend growing up once parked in roy demeos spot in front of the gemini..............he was never seen again

Joseph Gagliano is made. Jack Gagliano is too, I believe. But that's about it. There hasn't been a case involving the family in nearly 20 years. It's defunct.

I usually skip these threads so I will just tell this one quick funny story. I didn't actually see it happen but I was at the block party when Sonny Mazzone bit a piece of a guys ear off because he was beeping his horn trying to get by.

Did he swallow?

Apparently Mike Tyson saw that too. Tyson is sucha copycat.

I think he had it dipped in Gold and now wears in around his neck.

Didn't someone else recently bite someones ear in some sport. Not one of the 4 major sports

A soccer player named Luis Suarez who plays striker forward position for Liverpool F.C. in the British Premier league was being held by the arm by a defender, Ivanovich, from the Chelsea F.C. When Suarez could not get him to let go of his arm, he bit him on the neck. I was watching the game when it happened. It is the third time Suarez has been cited for biting other players. Luis Suarez is one of the best goal scorers/soccer players in the world. His biting habit aside, he is a bad-ass.

My mother still talks about the time Joe Gallo gave her change for a payphone as a kid.



Old Italian Bensonhurst still exists. It just got relocated to Staten Island. And it's like the same families even. Whenever I want to visit people I knew as a kid in Bensonhurst, I just go to Staten island. Sooner or later I'll run into one. Some people call it "Brooklyn 2"

I had a friend in the joint a couple of years ago, old italian guy named souza (everybody was called by there last name especialy if you had a strange one) but anyway, he was from williamsburg brooklyn where his father owned a store back in 20's 30's & 40's & his dad would tell him stories about how salvatore maranzano would come in to the store & sometimes they would talk for hours. He said that maranzano was really into greek mythology. Needles to say, souza became my best friend after he told me that story!!!!

That's fucking hilarious.

Lol. The thread that never dies.

so wonderful

I admit I worded that story pretty badly but ask anyone from Chicago, they'll tell you the same thing about that restaurant.
Almost forgot to say, respect cheech.

theyll tell you what? cadillacs park out front in no parking zones?

bawabwabhbahbahbahbhbahb

cmon bro, get a friggin clue

i was 8, im in the yankee hat



saint mary madeline social club softball team....there is your encounter

My mother met Anthony Scotto and said he was incredibly charming, but had the largest hands and most fearsome handshake.

My father was big in the NYC bar scene in the 80's. At his favorite dive bar, a mobster sat beside him and the two quickly made friends. The next night, my father walked in and playfully put his arm around the guy's shoulder. His men pinned my dad against the wall ready to kill him until the boss of the group explained he didn't mean anything by it. I wish I knew who he was. Ill ask my dad for the name, and the name of the bar because the bar was mob run. A cop would walk in while people were doing blow and he would avert his eyes and say 'I hope no one is doing something bad!' Basically for appearances he would check the place out but was on the take, you know? I assume the guy in this story was a made guy but I don't know for sure until I get the name of the bar.

Lol i usually hate cops but there are some chill ones out there that care about keeping the nhood safe instead of ruining ppls lives. Best cop encounter for me was it was about 1 am when a bunch of us kids went to a dugout at this baseball feild to smoke. We were all baked as fuck probly loud as shit too, we see what looks like a flashlight and start to freak out and we hear steps going right up to the entrence and we got this cop shining his flash light on all these kids all completely fucking baked. He sees us about to crawl under the fence and says Dont worry guys its all cool, i just wanted to make sure you guys werent doing meth or anything". He tells us to be safe and as he leaves smy buddy says "good thing he didnt see my meth" lol he yells out i heard that! Hahaha. Kinda lame now that i think about it but i dont have any good cop storys

THESE FUCKING STORIES LOL...One day in Cicero 1986 the Latin Kings were having a pig roast in Cicero. Cook County showed up with the Undertaker Vice Lords and instead of having a rumble, they decided to show off the hydraulics in their lowriders in a battle of the switches. Upon hearing that the blacks and the Mexicans were having a gettogether, Ferriola and the Wild Bunch showed up. Rocky Infelise bitch slapped Gino Colon. When the VL's started shooting, Fat Ass Sarno sat on 3 of them and called 26th Street for back-up after which Jimmy LaPietra showed up and hung Willie Lloyd on a meat hook through his rectum like Action Jackson. When Lloyd seemed to enjoy it after having been in the joint for 10 years, Elmwood Park was called so John DiFronzo rushed over and ejaculated just as ANP says he did...THE END..:)

I sort of have a story. My uncle (my father's older brother) died under very mysterious circumstances in 1981, after becoming extremely wealthy under equally mysterious circumstances. We live in Louisiana (and are not Italian), but he married a woman from Illinois and moved there in the 60's. At first he was working as a printer's apprentice. But every time he would come down to visit the family, the wads of bills he would pull out got bigger and bigger. Later he told us that he bought the printing company he had been working at and said he was involved in real estate. One summer we packed up and went and visited him. It was like a friggin' resort. He lived in a mansion on 80 acres. He had his own lake with a pavillion, golf carts and three wheelers, the whole nine. After that, we went every summer! He was like a celebrity in Peoria. He had a larger than life personality and everybody seemed to know him. My dad worshipped him. On our last visit he confided to my dad that he had become associated with some "Italian businessmen" from Chicago, with a wink. My dad begged him to be careful. He said there was nothing to worry about. One night, the following winter, I heard my dad saying, "NO, NO!" My mom was trying to hug him and calm him down, but he ran out of the house. Then she told us. My dad's sister had just called her. My uncle had committed suicide, he had been found dead in his garage (carbon monoxide poisoning). My father was inconsolable and didn't believe that for a second. He, along with other family members demanded an investigation. A suicide note was found in the car, but it was typed. And it wasn't typed on the typewriter found in my uncle's home or office (nor had anyone ever seen my uncle type anything). Nor was it typed on paper that could be found in his home or office. Also, his body was found outside of the car. Almost to the door of the garage. He appeared to be crawling towards it when he succumbed. His cause of death was changed to "undetermined." But nobody was ever charged.

The end. Hope that wasn't too long winded.

Thanks for sharing your story. I can imagine the agony suffered by your family after your uncle´s death.

Now, that´s a hell of an avatar!

I searched long and hard for just the right one! Now they'll either think I'm a girl or gay...or five.

We´ll find you another one.

You searched long and hard and came up with Pooh?

Interesting story, by the way.

Thanks! Actually Mr. Knuckles came up with that one, jokingly suggesting it after he had mistaken me for a guy. But I liked it!

So you are a girl? Ok well that makes it a little better. haha

And I use the name carmela, I put Heidi Klum as my avatar and they still think I'm a guy, so be whoever you want to be!!
