Well, he had the candy store on Gun Hill, he had the after hours on East 237th, and he had his storefront (which is probably the "club" you're referring to) next to the old A&M Bakery on White Plains Road. Plus, he had numbers spots dotted all over Wakefield, from Nereid Avenue all the way to Baychester. Mikey was a behemoth in numbers. He was an earner, an old school gangster, and he was NO RAT. Casso should get tortured for ordering the death of that old man. He wasn't a threat to anyone. It was all out of jealousy and greed. Casso wanted the dump in Pennsylvania for himself. There was NO OTHER REASON.

Stevie, Joey G, TJ, Blue Eyes, and virtually the entire Bronx Lucchese crew of that generation came up under Mikey Salerno or Johnny Peanuts (who was Mount Vernon based until he got murdered in his own house).
