Jiggs, would you care to go into E 105 and E 106th st between 1st and 3rd and what was going on at that time? Who was on those streets in those days? (Not directly an OC question.)
What time is that? If you mean the 1970s it was a whole different ball game from when I was a kid. PRs took over. Commie fucks started burning garbage in the middle a the street. Brown berets. The fucking panthers. There was a riot and you had mayor lindsey the s%$c champ torres and carlos ortiz who ran a niteclub in the bronx on colgate avenue. It was blow central. They was walking arm and arm the way uptown. They calmed the natives but somebody threw a metal garbage can from the roof onto the street almost assasinating the mayor and hell broke loose. Cops wayling on everyone that walked. As far as lcn on them blocks the city did away with the buildings that used to run along 2nd and 1st on 106. There was a social club on 104 and 2nd when I was a kid. Eddie coco, ziggy shatz, frankie carbon who they say wacked out bugsy siegel. Tony lentino who owned the dreamland dance hall on 125 and later moved it downtown to broadway after the riots before I was born. He was biggest pimp in the city. I think the don tarttaglia from the godfather was base on him. short and ugly like a pug. Them and some other guys that was'nt italian were who I remember seeing at least once. In them days they had windows. It wasnt bricked up like the gotti hq on mulberry. They could see out and a square citizen could see in. They was all paraded on tv and the papers during the keefauva show. That social club later became a bar called christophers. PR clientel took it over. It was owned by a black. I felt like dorothy. Thats when I known I wasnt in kansas no more.
