What are the demographics like in Yonkers today? Any gentrification? mostly working class? Gentrification in Yonkers? Pffft. Yonkers used to be a nice little town, almost like a cross between an outer borough and the suburbs. Lots of working class and middle-class families. Let's just say it's gone downhill. True.. very true.. still got some nice neighborhoods. . Crestwood, Colonial Heights, Bronxville Heights, etc.. bit it ain't what it used to be. . Right. But every one of those neighborhoods borders the Tuckahoe/Eastchester/Bronxville line. And don't forget, Tuckahoe is a partial septic tank itself, especially by the train station. Give it a few more years, and some more government and section eight housing, watch what happens. We're in Florida now. But my Dad lives in Lake Isle when we're up there. For now, anyway. He's 85 and slowing down. Anyway, Lake Isle is beautiful. But we're talking about Eastchester and an entirely different demographic.

Lol. Aint that the truth. Eastchester is a different world, and Tuckahoe has its ghetto for sure.

The Genovese have already had a boss who came up in and was based in NJ. Gerry Catena was the acting boss for Vito Genovese from the time that Vito Genovese went to jail until the time that Vito died in 1969. Then he was the official boss from 1969 until 1972 when Phil Lombardo or Funzi Tieri took the reigns, depending upon what you believe. Jerry was a NJ guy all the way, born and bred in Newark, the most powerful homegrown mobster ever from NJ. From what I understand, Genovese remained the official boss until his death. I've only read about Catena being the underboss, though I suppose it's possible he could have been acting boss at some point. According to Cafaro, Lombardo took over as boss after Genovese died. Tieri was never the official boss, simply official underboss and then acting boss for Lombardo. Anyway, all the recent info (what little there has been) suggests the Genovese family continues to be run by a ruling panel. As much as people on these forums want to see one guy officially sitting on the throne, it doesn't appear as yet there is any.

When Crea gets taken off the street (jail or death) does anyone think one of the NJ guys could step up and take control of that family?? I doubt it. The Luccheses are a smaller mirror image of the Westside. There are still way more guys active in Westchester and the Bronx than in Jersey. And like I've said a hundred times, those two families work so closely together in the Bronx and Westchester that they may as well be one family. Especially in construction. I don't think the powerbase in either of those families is moving anytime soon. Any other families got joint ventures with the Westide and Luke's?
