ONE MORE MOB STORY!

      If you have watched the Soprano's, a series done on cable a few years ago, you will appreciate this. It was about a mob family, the Soprano's, and the setting was northern New Jersey. 

     Well, on the same day as visiting Palisades Park back in the 1960's, we also drove around and checked out some of the real fancy homes in the Bergen County area of New Jersey. We drove by this huge brick two plus story Tudor home enclosed with a  metal gated fence.

     And, just like the  movie, "The Godfather,"  was standing this big guy in a suit and tie just doing nothing but standing there by the mail-box! Again, the owner of the home was just allegedly a mobster. I thought it was really cool at the time. I've always enjoyed books, movies and TV shows about gangsters. Made my day! I always wondered if the guy standing there had ever "whacked" anyone!
