Never been to Rockland county, I don't believe. PB, how far North do you have to go before you don't see any of the 5 families? I'd imagine it can't be much farther up nowadays.
Probably around Goshen, give or take. But that area was always popular with the old time wiseguys as a place to get away. And on the other side of the Bear Mountain Bridge, you had the Rhinebeck area, which was popular, too.
Fat Tony owned a farm in Rhinebeck. For the last ten years or so prior to the Commission case, he spent almost as much time up there as he did in Harlem. And he encouraged a lot of the old Westside guys to buy up that way, too. It's a short hop to Pittsfield, where they had a small crew years ago that acted like a conduit between New York and Springfield.
