I was on Knickerbocker when Galante got whacked. But I was all the way over on Harman or Greene. Galante expired down on Jefferson and Knickbocker. But since then, I've been fascinated with the mob.

Cool you were there. my grandfather was down there working that summer he said tgat it was packed in he streets


Yeah. We were always on Knickerbocker during that time period. Betesh. Morris Toys. Boys and Mens. I miss those local businesses.

When the Galante hit happened, people ran towards that end of Knickbocker. It was amazing. But my mother would have no part of the frenzy and we just went about our business instead of gawking.
