Soda/snack routes

Does anyone still control delivery routes?
When I was a kid a lot of people had routes.

When I was a kid we used to go to yankee games. we'd get up early and go to breakfast first. then we'd head up 95 down the CT coastline to the Bronx. man what a time to be alive. mid 80s. donny baseball, willie randolph, dave winfield, rickey henderson. those were the days...am I right?

My cousin owned a vending company in the 80s/90s and 2000s in the Atlantic City area.

He told me he had to kick up to Nicky Scarfo Sr for the vending route back in the day. He said that was the only time, when Nicky Sr was around he even had the snack machine guys kickup in the AC area.

I was actually wondering about ice cream truck routes, as a Luchese guy was busted selling oxy out of one in Tottenville.

Pretty sure Tony Soprano and John Gotti bid on the last Bungalow Bar when they folded. Naturally, Gotti outbid Soprano....even gave him a ride home. You know he rang that bell, the whole way home?

The luchese guy was in pleasant plains and most the ice cream trucks are rented out for distribution. They were coming out of Travis section of staten island ..victory blvd.

I know for a fact that back in the day the Genovese /,Gambino controlled most if not all the machines out my way in Fairfield and New Haven CountyESPECIALLY the cigarette machines and im sure the New England and Genovese had control of other parts of the state i dont kn ow how to post the link but the main Westside guy from Fairfield County caught a case over smashing machines if they weren't his in bars and elsewhere. He still owns the same vending/amusement company to this very day although im not sure what goes on especially with there being no cigarette machines but im sure theres wiseguys who still definetely own companies because you can easily wash money through them (amusement/vending) but like all rackets probably not what it once was.

Your a hundred percent right Cheech im a Huge Yankee fan and have many memories going to games with my pops and uncles. I know your my age or close to it , it was a great time to grow up my uncle had season tickets for many years so i used to go every chance i had. I still go down every season for a couple or few games depending on when i can but not nearly as much as when i was a kid.
