The City Democratic Club was indeed located at 367 Clinton Street. It´s possible I guess that it was later moved to another location but Carlo´s books are riddled with factual errors, so perhaps we shouldn´t count on that it moved to the place he said.
There were several Democratic Clubs in Brooklyn I think but the one we are discussing here was formed in 1929 and functioned as meeting place for the top guys within the six ILA locals and some of Brooklyn´s most prominent Mafia guys (among them Vincent Mangano, John Giustra, Profaci, Anastasia, Joe Adonis and others). The Club was also a channel for controlling political life in several Brooklyn districts.
Yes that is the one we are talking about,thanks HK great info as always.I offten wonder where was the epicenter of mafia activity in Brooklyn back in those days,guess it was near the waterfront.What do you guys think?
