If anyone from North Buffalo fill me in this would be greatly appreciated...my barber is an old school Sicilian with his shop on Hertel. He is My barber nearly my entire life. As a little kid in the 90's I vaguely remember him being involved with gambling possibly in the back of his shop. Am I going crazy or do I remember correctly
There were a lot of old barbers back in the 90's. I went to D'Anna when ever I was in town back then, after he died, I went to Sandy in Niagara Falls. I can only think of Conti and Rosati you might be thinking of, Conti passed away before D'Anna, and Ducky passed away over a decade ago.
No my barber is alive and well....I don't want to name names but it's the barber shop near Caruso and Terrapin. He shares the same last name as the capo gunned down in the early 70s... is that his son? I was always curious but never had the balls to ever talk about it, especially when I'm pretty sure made men would be siting there all day hanging around. I'm technically first/second generation Sicilian-American and can understand the language. These old gray haired men sitting in the empty barber seat werent just talking weather...but again this is 20+ years ago.
