Of course Vig.

The exact name was "Joe Sonkens Gold Coast Restaurant". I was in there only a couple of times . But that was a big hangout for Chicago guys. The NY/NJ guys hung at Hemigways, Top of the Home, Bootsies, Villa Perrone, The Grand Saloon.

And thats just the Hollywood area. We have just scratched the surface. Back in the day during the winter months there were wiseguys everywhere. In North Miami "The Place for Steak" and the "Bonfire" the "Club Top Draw". FT Laud. there was the "Bachelors III" the "Brickyard" and at least a dozen others.

To give you an idea of just how many there were. When I was 15 I bussed tables at a place called "Tre Amici" on US1 in Hollywood. I could ride my bike there.

All of a sudden the placed just closed. Then a few days later there was an article in the paper about how the FBI had bugged the place and was steaking it out. Jimmy Blue Eyes Alo and a bunch of other heavies were all meeting there.

Jimmy had a house in Hollywood since the 1940's.
