Are they around in any capacity. Im sure this thread has been posted before but i ask for a different reason. I read when howie winter got arrested a few years back for shaking down somebody, he told the victim he was with the north end i believe. Now i have read that the bulger organization was supposedly winterhill gang. But as time went on the bulger crew became cold towards winterhill/Somerville. I read the Somerville crew even started separating themselves as a group. Also the Somerville crew shared rackettes with the lcn and worked almost as a crew for them. While Connelly in bulgers crew put away all the major lcn guys but they used to share with the lcn prior to the arrests then at one point it became all bulgers and gang. Citizen Somerville, rogue mobster, rat bastartds and brutal were the books i read but im sure there are a few massachusetts guys in here. Any insite for a long islander.
