Carmela,

Grove St? Grove and Forest was the scene of a shooting at Licata's Caffe in 1982. There was a Licata who was the boss of Knickerbocker until he was killed and Salvatore Catalano took over. I always wondered if the shootings were related?

I'm sure we have met. I lived on Himrod and Grandview.

I miss Ridgewood. I find that unless you're a millionaire, and can live in an exclusive area, you're going to be in a middle class area surrounded by white trash and minorities. That's what Florida is like. It's all rednecks and roughnecks. Pickup trucks with confederate flags and Mexicans with rosary beads. Unreal. Ridgewood ain't so bad.
