The dark haired woman in the bottom photo is lovely, but it's definitely not Jackie Kennedy.

Peppermint wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 3:57 am Going to try writing a screenplay, based on the book. About the Peppermint Lounge, my Great Grandfather, and their role in the Mafia. However, I don’t want it to be based entirely on information just from the book, naturally I want to make it my own.

So I was wondering if anyone happens to know anything more about the Peppermint Lounge and it’s mafia history? Nothing exclusively about my great grandfather, my family can source me all that information. But I need more about the rest of it, and I can’t seem to find any anywhere online, and other than what I have shared about it, which is mostly from the book, there doesn’t seem to be anything about it. Not even in any of the Genovese threads, and they are the crime family that centered around the Peppermint at the time.

Anything anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated

Good luck writing a screenplay based on a book that you probably don’t own the rights too. That isn’t how that works.

It’s Lombardi, I just heard my Uncle wrong and thought it was Lombardo.

I haven’t gotten around to it yet, no. Oddly, I enjoy writing but I have zero attention span when it comes to reading a book. I do want to read it, I just don’t want to start something I don’t think I’ll ever end up finishing.

But I don’t know for sure if he was made or not, I can’t see why a mere associate would be on the cover of a book that is hardly even about them. Just also based on everything my family has told me, and personally showed me about him that indicated to me he must’ve been made. None of us even know what exactly happened to him after the club was transferred to the ownership of Matty The Horse, he kind of just vanished as far as I’m concerned because the family story ends there. That’s the whole reason I joined these forums in the first place, I figured if anyone would know anything it would be you guys. Even my other sources, reach a dead end about him with anything beyond the Peppermint Lounge.

My apologies on the snarky attitude by the way, I was expecting you to come at me about him like Cheech did. I didn’t think you were actually engaging me seriously.
