Demeo's men were mostly from Canarsie but HE was originally from Bath Beach and the Gemini was in Flatlands. Roy was actually from Northumberland England .

but how can know that,lot more secret back than The bosses were secretive, but the lifestyle itself was right out in the open. The knockaround guys in New York tended to flaunt it back then. And if you walked into a mob-connected bar or restaurant back then, you knew about it in about three seconds. Trust me on that.

what was the best known mob social club or bar in your neighbourhood in the bronx? whay dont u answer my q?? Because it's too broad. I grew up in the Belmont section of the Bronx in the '60s and '70s. It was depicted perfectly in "A Bronx Tale." Wiseguys were everywhere. There were over a dozen social clubs from Fordham to 183rd to Southern Boulevard to Arthur Avenue.

Back then Frankie LoCasio ran his Gambino Crew out of Morris Park. But his brother had a club near the zoo, so he was around Arthur Avenue all the time. As far as the Genovese guys, Larry Black Centore ran his crew out of Belmont. Now stop asking so many fucking questions .

yeah how u feel about them?not much liked there in serbia They're okay. And to tell you the truth, they've started to assimilate well themselves. Many of the Italian neighborhoods (like Belmont and Pelham Parkway) became Albanian when the Italians moved up to the suburbs. And now that the Albanians are starting to move to the suburbs, those neighborhoods are quickly becoming mixed Latino. But the Albanians are smart. Even though they're moving out, they bought a lot of the apartment buildings. There are a lot of Albanian landlords in the Bronx today. I make my living in property management today, so I do some business with them. I actually have an Albanian partner in one of my buildings. He's a real good guy. But some of them ARE crazy .

I believe that a significant portion of Sicily is descended from Albanian refugees from the Ottomans. They speak a unique but (I think) dying dialect of Albanian. Sort of like the griko people in Calabria with their dialect of Greek. Do you happen to know anyone with the last name Albanese? I believe one of the first American mafiosi (or camorristi?) from New Orelans was named Albanese. The Arbëreshë Albanians are all over Southern Italy, from Basilicata all the way through Calabria, and off the mainland into Sicily. We've discussed them at length here in the past, but I don't have the patience to look for the thread .
