It's always about money. I got the feeling at that time that guys in your area needed some backing and wanted people from Philly to use as muscle. What was the condition of people up there at that time? Were numbers low? Internal war going on? How affiliated are Providence and Boston? Is it a love hate thing like NY and Philly? Around the same time I recall the neighborhood saying Ny was coming to Philly and there was guys on every corner ready to protect our neighborhood. Maybe I misspoke with last post but It just dawned on me this morning. I was just starting to understand things at that time so recollection is hazy.
