Toms River and Elizabeth areas of Jersey are where most of them are around here geographically and the majority of them can trace their family roots back to Sicily, Ribera in particular (especially the old timers). They're heavily involved still in construction and anything that revolves around construction, now on the contracting side and not the union side as they lost control of the local they had for years here in Jersey.

That bust in 2015 with the Stagno crew were all brokesters who were nobody's and pretty much outliers in that family. They're very low key and I would 100% say the most "Italian" of the families operating here in Jersey. By the most "Italian" of the families here I mean that most of the DeCavs (again especially the older guys) were either born over in Italy and/or actually speak Italian. You dont see that at all in the year 2020 with all the other families operating here in New Jersey.

I used to see some of the older guys doing walk and talks speaking in Italian at the Mall in Toms River in the early morning hours mall walkers program, lol I kid you not when I was there getting my coffee at the Shore. Theyre still around and to me at least more of a "Sicilian/Sicilian-American Clan" that operates in NJ/NY than your typical totally Americanized LCN family. That's just my opinion from my observations and what I know & see around here in New Jersey.
That is so funny and true. All the old geezers go to the Ocean County Mall to walk if its too hot out or raining lol. Most of them are senior citizens now. Some even live in holiday city lol . I believe Mike Taccetta moved into a 55 and older in Toms River with his wife. lol

Crossing Elizabeth Ave. heading south/southwest into Peterstown and the neighborhood takes on much nicer look than the rest of Elizabeth, which is rather tough. The Portuguese are trying to make it nice but it isn't as nice as Peterstown.

I wanted to walk down past the Ribera Club and pretend I was headed to the community center but that would have looked shady. So I took in the partially open restaurants (John's caffe, rilottos, barrones). Some nice Italian flags and American flags in the neighborhood but mostly Portuguese flags. LOTS of Virgin Mary statues in front of homes.
Portuguese? Really? Elizabeth has one of the largest Colombian Communities in America. You can find allot of Portuguese down neck in Newark.

Yeah Down Neck Newark these days is Portugese, some Spanish from Spain, and the largest majority now Brazilians because they speak Portugese. I'm pretty sure theres not one Italian left in Down Neck, remaining few Italians left in Newark are in North Newark by the Belleville/Bloomfield border and theres not many there these days either. Even Michael Angelo's moved out to Fairfield from The Avenue in North Newark.....
