I think they still do it on pleasant ave in the summer. I don't know about Johnny Z though. He's always boozed up on the Johnny Walker black. I do miss Johnny Echoes. One helluva guy. I couldn't believe how Joey Meldisch deteriorated on the dope before he went down and they never caught who whacked his brother a couple of years ago. You are right, though. There are still some heavy hitters around from there. I put on some other post that the greasers and Calabrians will eventually takeover what's left in another 20 or 25 years. Maybe I gotta change that now that I think about it. Maybe another 40 years.old schoolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408697780311463036.post-5755644936326633972015-03-11T00:37:20.946-04:002015-03-11T00:37:20.946-04:00Take ur time were not going any where thats what m...Take ur time were not going any where thats what makes this site so great the facts and ur sources and stories are on point.

Or when he goes on TV,gets his own show and explains how gambling and bookmaking work? Flipping channels last night and I see a guy on A&E ( I think that's the channel) explaining his gambling ring.

I believe I've said it on a number of posts that the guys who make it in the life are the ones related to the higher-ups, unless you're a massive earner. I like the guy that says if the jail doesn't seem like where you grew up you don't belong there. That's the truth.
