nothing to add to the large bill but evantually jerry took over the man Resturaunts and cater businesses


Palidino borrowed money from both Carlo and Anguilo to get started, a few months in Carlo started an additional porn shop and Palidino cried to Jerry he coukdnt pay because Carlo was competing with him. Jerry didnt want to hear it, Jerry couldnt fight Carlo a Genovese guy so they told Palidino tough shit and took his shares over. If you read into this Jerry knew the guy was smart wanted him to set it up, do the grunt work to get it off the ground then take it ovee. They booked, numbers, etc out of tge place. Genovese guys called them "smoke shops" because they also sold cigars and at that time during the '80's porn was taboo. Imagine you seen going to buy some swag or place a bet and yoiur wife drives by you walking into a porn shop!


Just remembered these two shops were in the city of Worcester! What a dump! You can buy two things in that city. Porn or Heroin!
