Still weirdly spell bound by these shits. It’s the damn interviews, some are just captivating full stop. What’s wrong with me lol
I must have gone through 100 hours of “statue of limitations now over” interviews with NYC LCN. They also give often a very real and visceral sense of what nyc was like in the 70s, 80s, 90s in working class Italian hoods

80 Blocks From Tiffany's - 70s NYC gang doc
Read this article in the Guardian Guide on Saturday and watched the film here last night. A real snapshot of how utterly fucked large swathes of NY were in the 70s; block after block of vacant, burned out buildings. Also weird watching a doc where there's no narrative added on by the film...

So many particulars. So many questions.
looks like a good companion to Rubble Kings. Never ceases to astonish me how fucked they let it get. Because its a union town, because they were black areas. They'd rather let the city rot than let the people in in it live their lives.

i mean it's stupid and probably feeding into somethign extremely toxic but joey merlino, the one time lead of the Philly Mafia, who was running a mass criminal empire for a long while, has just been interviewed. as said, it's a bit sad, but i do find these old type mobsters fascinating. loan sharking, book making, social clubs, "forget abooutt it".

La Cosa Nostra? As in, Sicilian mafia rather than Calabrian 'Ndrangheta, Neapolitan Camorra etc.

this was fascinating. sad change of a neighhourhood that was once a thriving community where everyone knew each other. not really mafia related directly, but mulberry street was a hot bed of teh five families (and this chap was a member of the gambino family but doesn't mention it)."
