Joey Lombardo originally belonged to the Taylor St. Crew even though he was born and raised on Grand Ave.

Joey was with Phil Alderisio and then when got made, he ran his own franchise like all made guys.

After the 'Changing of the Guard', Auippa/Cerone made him a Capo and gave him the Grand Ave area. This happened around 1969. Some of the left over Taylor St men were now under him and they were known as the Grand Ave Crew.

After Lombardo got out of prison, He was more like a retired Advisor. He had to be careful not to be seen with anyone or they would have sent him back to prison.

He would mostly confer with Joe Andriacchi who is his cousin.
That way he could claim he was talking to a relative.
