You can say that again Skinny lol. Yeah Long Island is packed with made guys and associates who live here and "work" here. Richard Gotti lived in Valley Stream. John Gotti's mom lived there too. I dunno if it was mentioned above but Mastrangelo of the Gambinos is on Long Island as well. Uvino's crew has to be one of the major players in gambling in Suffolk county. Plenty of low level guys out here trying to make a buck whether its through fencing, counterfeit goods (jerseys are huge, also DVDs) etc. Go to a number of Italian restaurants on the south shore or a north shore steakhouse on a weekend night and you can spot em from a mile away. You just sorta get used to it as a fixture in the area.
