IN the late 80's-early 90s- houlihan, fitzgerald and nardone ran charlestown controlled all PCP, coke and herion sales... enforced assualts and murders(REFER TO MY CHARLESTOWN MOB WARS THREAD) HAD DOZENS OF GUYS UNDER THEM MOSTLY family and friends from the housing projects of mishuwam and NEW TOWNE. ALSO DABBLED IN BANK ROBBERY.

but after nardone houlihan and fitzgerald were sent to federal prison in early to mid 90's... a guy name mcgonagle took over mr mcgoo mcongagle, he didnt dabble in drugs soo much but was a mastermind behind a half of dozen if not more bank robbery's...

mconagle and his bank robbery crew would latter get sent off to fed priosn thmeselves.

then there were the myers/murray crew who were connected to the teamsters, and the aryan brotherhood.... that delt in drug sales, drug robberies and illegal activities within the teamsters unions... they operated mostly in somerville/charlestown.. MYERS WAS A GOVERNMENT WITNESS/INFORMENT... DOUBT HIS FORMER ARYAN BROTHERHOOD TIES WOULD ACCEPT HIM NOW. HE IS A PART OWNER OF JOHNS AUTO SALES IN SOMERVILLE, WHERE JOEY MONGIELLO WORKS ALONG WITH PAUL MYERS HIS YOUNGER BROTHER.

than there was a younger crew( not to significant) ran by JOHN FIDLER.


hahaa and every one knows butchy doe...they tried to kill him over a half of dozen times... and he lived through all of them haha

The character in THE TOWN in the flower shop, IS BASEd ON A MIX OF houlihan, fitzgerald and most signifiaclly mcgonagle.
