Well said, Barrett. smile

I have a (sort-of) connection with Murder Inc.:

I grew up in Brownsville, and lived a block from Midnight Rose's candy store, which was their hangout. When I was 14, I took an after-school job working at that candy store. It wasn't called Midnight Rose's by then (years after the demise of Murder Inc.), and neither I nor the owners knew of its grim past. People in the neighborhood by then tended not to talk of our unsavory past.

I took a photo of the former Midnight Rose's when I made a nostalgic visit to the old neighborhood in 1997. It's the storefront that's under the awning says "Shop Smart Mini-Mart." For those of you who know Brooklyn: Saratoga Avenue, near the corner of Livonia Avenue. The stairs lead to the Saratoga Avenue station (3 and 4 subway lines).

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
