I don't think modern day mob enthusiasts give enough credit, if any at all, to Lansky. In my humble opinion, he was the probably equal in stature to Luciano, but probably a lot smarter. This man toook LCN to places and heights it never dreamed of.....he took the CN model and reproduced it around the globe including London, Beruit, Cuba, etc. Lansky was definitely the brains and politically astute arm of CN to Luciano's muscle. I agree. Lansky and Costello are so fascinating because they both could have run legit corporations. That's rare. I mean, for all of that nonsense about John Gotti having an IQ of 140, well, you can see where I'm going here.

Pizza you know Florida. where lanskys modest house is or was,today what's it worth a ton? You like that coma in my sentence. Skimd his daughter book at Barnes it sucks. Cool pics. Freezing as fuck out. He lived in a few different spots, pmac. Mostly around Hallandale. I knew one of his old neighbors there fairly well. That particular house was small and unassuming. I've read that Hyman Roth's house in "Godfather II" was right on the money in terms of how small and discreet it was. All the old-timers who remember them down here say the exact same thing. That he was very low-key and quiet. And that his wife was a hopeless, low-class loudmouth, who'd curse and spit at anyone who looked at her funny. I've also heard that she was very bitter after he died because all of the stories about him not leaving much behind turned out to be true (not that most mob watchers want to believe that, but I've heard it's true).

I had in my mind a 2 3 bedroom house 3 houses up from a private beach or across the street from a beach mansion beach front. The neighborhood must be nice today and rich or Jewish. Shit now I'm thinking of Seinfeld's parents Boca vista. The Cadillac ep. He owns a caddy he can't be president. Well, the older American-born Jewish population has been steadily creeping out of Miami and a bit to the north. It's kind of a White Flight situation, no other way to say it. Palm Beach County is now home to more Jews than anyplace in the world outside of Israel and New York City. But it's funny that you mention it because there's been an influx of Russians in the North Miami Beach area these past few years, and a good portion of them are Jewish. That's why I differentiated them from the American-born Jews.

Just to clarify for some people, Russian gangsters in the past were notorious for claiming Jewish roots, getting Israeli documents, and using that to expand into other countries that way. A lot of "Russian Jews" got to America that way with their Israeli papers

Half the Russian "Jews" in Brighton Beach are phonies who lied to get into the country.

There will be genefercation or what ever that word is every major city. Miami is to beautiful to be poor. They'll buy all the property 5 miles between the coast and take all. Think I just read that NYC is selling the projects to get out of so-called debt. Bother topic for another day. Very true. But I didn't say that the American-born Jews were moving because Miami was getting poor, I only said it's White Flight . The truth is quite the contrary because it's a very diverse group of wealthy people settling in Miami-Dade now. The moneyed Brazilians are buying up property like crazy. The poor Brazilians are moving to Broward County. Florida's fucking weird. I couldn't live here full-time, no matter how much I complain when it gets cold up north.

I agree. Lansky and Costello are so fascinating because they both could have run legit corporations. That's rare. I mean, for all of that nonsense about John Gotti having an IQ of 140, well, you can see where I'm going here. I think any of the original Commission members could've run legit corporations. These guys were all smart and the families they ran were in essence corporations.

You like that coma in my sentence. I don't know why, but pmac pointing out the comma for PB actually made me laugh a few times. Do I just laugh at dumb shit or was this a good bit of subtle humor? Sometimes I can't even tell
