Thanks for the double quote. Just saw you are from Clarence... my Dads side of the family is from there. The mafia is one thing... "Bills mafia" is another.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 not to divert from the silliness .... Rochester and Irondequoit back in the day (early 80's -late 90's) I knew a number of "family" members. Before that mom and pops made sure we "kept our noses clean and mouths shut" about what we heard. 2 years after I moved out of state the The Sopranos came on HBO and I felt like I was back home.

The 1970's were the golden age of the Rochester mob. I still remember the gundown at the Blue Gardenia Restaurant in Irondequoit as breaking news. Also, one of the leading figures living out in Victor in Ontario County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I remember the mob hit in front of Roseland Restaurant, on Rhode Island St. Roseland was an upscale restaurant, but close several years ago.

Turk71 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 My cousin worked in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the Organized Crime Task Force in the Attorney General’s Office in New York and was one of the lead investigators and prosecutors in the case against the Gambino crime family that put John Gotti away for good. They had wiretaps, video and audio surveillance of various clubs and restaurants, a confidential civilian informant and an undercover agent on the inside.

Buffalo Bill is still a hard pill to swallow, for me. But I choke it down and tell myself that our team name is due to the ignorance of our football forefathers.

I had an Italian uncle and an Italian BIL whose families traces through NYC. The mafia took far far far more than it gave for "protection" of small business owners in past eras. Some wiseguys thought that gave them a free pass on all the females in a family. Many people thought they would be money ahead letting the generic burglar rob them once or twice a month versus paying protection every Friday to the mob.
