We've talked about it time and time again but its true.
Look at every single documentary on any mob guy and they all start out the same:
" i grew up around it, they were the guys with the money and the guys that were respected. They hung in the clubs on the corner".
Who says that anymore ? No one ! There arent really any big italian hoods left with clubs on each corner. Italian kids today are in the suburbs surrounded by starbucks and Panera Bread. We keep hearing guys are more low key now and they dont want violence.. Truth is, there is no one really left to kill.
I was just in bensonhurst and almost everything is gone. Lots of chinese and some russian, a few italian left but its totally different. I remember 86th street as the guido capital of the world, it was funny. I loved it and had a lot of good times cruising back in the day.
Just killing some time but i doubt you will see another mob war in our life time.
