Apparantly to become a made guy in the outfit you got to be a straight menace, all those guys from te 50's-60's are straight loons, anything have to do with the pizza?

They put a special ingredient in the pizza on Taylor St. years ago.

Yeah torello, buccieri, nicoletti, & battaglia are up there as well. Giancana obviously as well.

Huron, You'll never see a Crew like the extended Taylor St
Crew ever again. They were like the Beatles of the Mafia. Never be equaled.

Giancana's first high profile hit was a certain Diamond Joe Esposito.

The crew (Taylor St) seems more or less to have been the administration of the family and therefore can you really look at them as a "Crew"? That's just how it seems to me I could be off by a mile.

You're not off by a mile, but I will explain it.
The Administration was actually Ricca, Accardo & Giancana.

The power behind Giancana was the Taylor St Crew.
The made men in the Taylor St Crew were like first among equals compared to all the other made men because they were DIRECT with Mooney. They were all partnered with Mooney or were partnered with Battaglia or Bucciere AND Mooney.

However, the money from the other Crews still flowed upward to Mooney who shared with Ricca and Accardo in one way or another.
Make sense?

a lot of the Scarfo guys to were scary, they weren't anywhere near Taylor St. but they all were killers ready to kill whoever, whenever, in New York they would of just been a toned down version of the Demeo crew with Testa the made guy running it with Scarfo being the capo like Nino.

That is the funniest/awesomest saying I've heard in a long time. The Beatles of the mafia. That's great. Made me laugh like hell. But yes, you are right about the Taylor St. boys. They were huge around the same time as the Beatles too. Was a different time back then but they are unequaled by any other crew in the country at thst time or now. I think they beat the demeo crew as much as people want to hero worship this crew. The Taylor Street Crew rules the day. They are the boyz of the first day of America, not just nyc or chicago. They had em all beat for moneymaking ability and sheer ruthlessness for sure.

black and white pics of the younger days of vito genovese and carmine galante make them look like some of the scariest guys i've seen in my life. they have "killer" painted all over their faces
