I see in threads that you're dad is doing ok. I hope you and your family are doing ok. Hang in there.
Sad/funny but true. I will add too that at least you knew your neighbors growing up. They had roots. People come from all over now and some don't leave their houses. Lol
Well put, NickyWhip. It's similar to that load of horseshit about the American Mob "keeping the neighborhoods safe." Meanwhile they were shaking down sixty year old immigrant fruit peddlers and shoemakers.
I grew up in Belmont in the '60 and '70s. I'm well versed about the life and the neighborhood wiseguys. And it was a very safe neighborhood back then. But it had nothing to do with the mob. It was xenophobia that kept us safe. Just telling it like it is (or was, anyway).
