Just some food for thought that I found interesting.

Any thoughts on Anthony Maggio and his brother Nick. In 1986 they were busted for gambling by Don Herion. Anthony was 27(55 now)and Nick was 22 (50 now). I know he was brought up in the comments of a Fosco article, supposedly he was big in Melrose Park and one of the Amabiles' was his driver.LOL! Herion called them experienced, and said they used every trick in the book. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1986-...partment-raided

Just saw that Gino "Blacky" Martin died on June 21. He was 91 years old. I don't know much about him but I have seen his name thrown around a couple of times but no details. Huron or ChiTown, either of you guys know who he is?

Kind of comical, really. Just happen to see this.

Probably should start a thread saying I'm his long, lost son !

Honestly, I know nothing about this man. First time I've seen his name. Additional Outfit story on p. 4, section 1.

I think the Maggio's were Greg Paloian's guys. Not positive. Lived in Elmwood Park like Greg but ran their books in Melrose.

Check your pm

I know "Blackie" Pesoli, but not this guy. Sorry.

Sorry, don't see anything.

I doubt it...though technically they are still likely "investors" in that family business. Really no different than Connie's Pizza or the Piemonte/Perillo car dealerships - the companies you start with Outfit money often stay Outfit.

Thanks ChiTown, I though it was at least likely the Outfit was getting a taste. As for the Maggios, are they still in the mix? If Herion though they were pros that young, they have skills that the outfit covets. Making Money.

Sorry forgot, I'll send you one tonight

I think i've asked this before, but who was Pesoli kicking up to when Calabrese was bitching about him not kicking up to him anymore in the prison tapes?

Calabrese was upset with Ralph "Curly" Peluso, who was (or is) a southside bookmaker. Sam "Blackie" Pesoli was a former cop and boxing promoter who ran dice games for the Grand Avenue crew.

Bah you're right got them mixed up. Pesoli was Marco's cousin, right? What's he up to?

I came upon an old article about Jack McGurn the other day. Two people arrested with him were two brothers named Dote. It looks like the Dote connection with the Elmwood Park crew goes way back.

If you ever go to Danny's there is a black and white picture on the wall, I believe an original, of a bunch of people with Tony Accardo.

It's been a while so I can't remember if I could identify anyone else in the pic or not, but there were a bunch of people I couldn't identify.

I've never seen that picture anywhere else.

Kind of a cool bit of local nostalgia.

Maybe if anyone is ever out there they could take a pic of it and people here could try the ID game.

I thought the food was pretty good; my GF's parents were not as impressed.

I live out in California and only visit the Windy City on occasion...but maybe if you go back you can take a digital photo and post it. Or some other poster who lives in the area.

My father was one of the original "boys"gOT Dillinger OUT OF JAIL IN Crown point ,did St. Valentine Shooting ,killed D .A. McSwiggen was with John Torrio when Al came to Chicago and met my dad .Was with Al the day he died.

Never arrested or tried on any crimes

HairyKnuckles' dad could still have beat up your dad.

Machine McGurn and dad played golf with machineguns in golf bags.Meet lots of Bosses

That's one way to get a birdie.

HairyKnuckles' mom could.

Absolutely! She was voted the strongest woman back in 1936. Face of an angel but built like a tank!

Your Mom sounds hawt, HK .
