It wasn't Bensonhurst but we represented back in the day. We would have rocked with the Rampers or Bath Boys anytime, any day. It wasn't Bensonhurst but we represented back in the day.

There's a lot of Bonannos in Whitestone these days. The Throgs Neck guys have a ton of action down there You may be right. I'm not familiar with that. I do know that years ago those areas were saturated with Harlem and Bronx guys who jumped over the bridge to Malba, Beechhurst, and Whitestone. Those 3 areas were among the nicest we had in the entire city. If you stayed up in the Bronx, then the "Country Club" section was prime for beautiful houses also. Very nice area. But Malba, etc., was (and still is) tops in my book

I saw them with John then Jason. Murder of Michael Papa in nearby Bayside, Queens. I attended Bayside High School. Did you? Bayside High School had a very good reputation. years back. It was known as one of the more solid schools for Queens. Another very nice area was Bayside on the water, and Douglaston Manor. Expensive homes there. But that was pushing it to the very eastern part of the Queens/Nassau line. Lots of guys didn't wanna go that far out so Malba and Whitestone worked better for some. I have a lot of family around that way. CNote, another real pretty area was Forest Hills Estates. Besides all the beautiful high-rises there off Queens Blvd. You had guys like Mike Miranda lived there. VERY expensive area. And excellently placed mileage wise to the city, only a few miles away

Well by Whitestone Park, under the Whitestone Bridge, was a beautiful expansive grassed area with room for playing ball, letting your dog run around free, Frisbee, etc. It was next door to the Army & missile base remember. Another beautiful wide open green space back then, and even today, was the old World's Fair Park. Nowadays they call it Flushing Meadows-Corona Park correct? I remember as a kid we used to go to the World's Fair with our parents, cousins, friends, etc. That was around 1965 or so. Fabulous time to grow and be a NYC kid back then.
If you think about it, I don't think there's another place within the 5 boros that has the green acreage that Flushing Meadows-Corona Park has. Possibly Central Park in Manhattan. But other that those two, where else do you have that much green space in NYC?

And excellently placed mileage wise to the city, only a few miles away Yes, Class of '80 Go Commodores. Lot of Crews like the Bath Boys in North Queens, Bell Boys on Bell Blvd, some out in College Point, Flushing Memorial Field, Crocheron Park Crew and us around the waterfront. Forest Hills was for the rich preppy Boys like Trump, we were mostly blue collar families back in the '70's, my neighbor had his own painting business. It didn't become affluent until the '80's.
