What about Anthony Napolitano, George Esposito and Nicholas Vitale?

Im sure that they are anxious for the summer to be over so they can get on with the trial and put this behind them win or lose. G A makes it sound like they are desperate to go down the shore but they are probably well adjusted to where their at its been what like 13 months or so

I wouldn't be too sure about the adjustment. These guys look forward to a vacation just as much as the next guy. And Joe Ligambi and his associates visit the shore for closure or space from their day-to-day. But I've also noticed that Margate vacations usually allow the Philly mob and Ligambi to openly speak business. Summer destinations are a good cover for underground meetings with associates. Lots of figures entering and exiting establishments, which makes FBI surveillance more difficult. And, from what I can assume, it's almost impossible to wiretap a conversation that occurs on the beach or the boardwalk.

Who doesn't like to go down the shore. Does anyone know if the defendants that are out on bail not including staino, if they're allowed to go down the shore? I think two or three of them that are out on bail might reside in NJ, its always unclear what their Last Known Address is.

I mean bail conditions,charges, home confinement isn't fair if you compare it to all the other violent crimes that take place in phila everyday night..and if thee perp is caught he can post bail and more then likely go down south for a few months..but to state the obvious there little mishaps generate $$$$ for media outlets because of their status in society.

The last time I believe there was some kind of wiretapping going on was back in Scarfo's day.The condo where either Tommy Delgiorno or Nicholas Caramandi stayed and maybe even Faffy Iannarella was bugged by the FBI.I think they basically stayed in the same one every year so I guess in advance the FBI knew this.

I forgot to put Ocean City in there,that's where it was.

In the late 90s they use to do surveillance from a condo overlooking the beach neat the green house during the day

I guess the so called philly mob is not gona miss the beach so much on this holiday as it is a total mess at those neck of the woods that they would inhabit. Trees down ,electric still out and stores still closed because of a hurricane that whipped through this past friday that they refuse to say it was a hurricane cause the residents have to buy a policy from the state of new jersey for wind and fire seperately from their homeowners policy from an insurance company

22- In blood and honor they it said they bugged Tommy Del's Ocean City Rental and the feds played some of the tapes of him badmouthing the administration. That's what caused him to flip since Scarfo was a nut.

@ Oldhead... Yeah I heard on 1060 the past day or two that parts of South Jersey got hit pretty bad. They were using the Galloway Township Middle School for people to stay at. They also giving out cases of water to people one per car.

Its unfortunate that happened recently, its already hard enough trying to maintain when to celebrate the holiday considering its on Wednesday.

Correct Dicknose thats right now its coming back to me,that is where they had him on tape bad-mouthing the organization.At that point I guess he was cooked.It was either WP or Scarfo.Speaking of that didn't they say while Caramandi was in custody for shaking down Rouse that ''Long John'' told him he was a dead man and thats when he flipped.but then later on he wondered if it was really true what ''Long John'' said or was he[LJ] just trying to make himself look good.

Hey i just came back from a week long stay at my house in margate and didnt really see or recongnize any gangsters, old or new. I did eat at Johnnies cafe in margate and it was great. Also the crab trap in sommers point and Chef Vola in Atlantic City. Now its time to work off this 5 pounds i gained.

I was down in Margate to for the week. First day back to work was Monday. I did see Uncle Joe's son at the greenhouse either Thursday or Friday afternoon. Also saw Phil sitting on Longports beach. We ordered out from Johnnies one day to. I like going to Roberts for drinks and some apetizers but its always packed.

Philly guys, Is the candy store where Savie Testa was whacked still around? I'm guessing no, its probably a starbucks or something now.

Hey,i just got back from Margate after a nice long weekend and i have to admit the it was kind of quiet down there.I dont know if it is the economy or the fact that there arent many wiseguys down there. Lol Did have some Pizza from a place called carluccis in i think sommers point and it was great. When im driving up passyunk ave i know exactly where that candy shop used to be cause i used to be cause there was a pizza shop right next door that i used to go to, i will check it out and see what it is now. Its right before tasker going east down passyunk on the right hand side

Thanks South Philly, I'm guessing that candy store isn't there any more.

Any gangsters in Cape May,Avalon,Stone Harbor ? Better yes what about Delaware or OC Maryland ?

Its actually a ticket service. Its called quaker city ticket service, they sell tickets for all kinds of events according to what the sign says in the window
