You must be part of the “in” crowd.

While I don't disagree with the sentiment, what an extremely random post...

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

I say WS I guess because we have / had a Westside growing up .... but our Westside was all black or African-American or whatever is the new proper term now.

Cackling like a banty Rooster.

Just to be clear; "Westside" refers to the Genovese administration. Not the Genovese family as a whole.

Some of you guys confuse me when you start using slang names incorrectly.

Why were they called Westside in the first place? I'm assuming the waterfront. If this is true, who is the eastside? Gambino?

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea

Alot of the old Genovese leaders operated from the westside of Manhattan. If you needed to talk to someone in the Genovese administration you'd send word that you wanted to talk to the westside.
