I'm sure you or pizzaboy could tell me where to go for a good meal or where to avoid road construction. But you being from the area doesn't mean you have any unique insight into the inner workings of the mob.

Seriously, how does you being from NYC - even from East Harlem back in the day - let you know Fat Tony was the real boss? The two have nothing to do with each other. It's just a lazy attempt to give yourself more credibility.
