THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Just to be clear Chick did not “approve” any hits on either brother. Gonna have to trust me on this one. Yes he wanted everyone to fall in line with Stanfa whether he agreed with or “sided” with Stanfa. If anything he held a slight grudge against Joey for letting it happen aka maybe fueling the fire...

The place he’s opening the Cheesesteak joint is Talk of the Town and it’s been Danny D’Ambrosia’s spot for years along with an auto shop next door. A lot of athletes in there…

That’s interesting about the part at the end of the article about relocating to Philly. Guess his friend who he visited in Philly is the Genovese book that we knew operated out of Philly and kicked up a piece to Ligambi/Philly Fam.

I’ve seen Joe around quite a bit in the past few months. He was with a big group of guys last time I saw him.
