Old NYPD Surveillance Report

[CornerBoy]

PEter West was there (second from bottom) He was a gambino? Even if not he from closeby

Ralphie Cuomo--heroin connection or the fact that Prince St, Ray's is so close to RAvenite?

[CornerBoy]

Read alot about the Gambino never really heard of this guy frank low until recently seen a Sammy clip of him talking about the guy. Guess he was joe watts right hand man who got killed in the 80tys Sammy didn't really know why but kinda implied watts asked gotti for permission but Sammy didn't know any details and really didn't ask

Very little info out there about Frankie “Botz” Lowe. Apart from the above surveillance, he was also surveilled earlier 12/1985 meeting with Watts, Gotti, DeCicco, and Corrao at Corrao’s Andrea Dorea Social Club. Additionally, Gravano testified that Lowe accompanied Watts to the meeting to plan the Castellano hit: https://www.cosanostranews.com/2021/01/ ... -bull.html

Lowe was found murdered in 1988 in his home on SI. If he was rolling with Watts before they fell out, l have to imagine that Lowe was a serious guy.

Thanks PolackTone for linking that article. sammy describes in such detail, I can picture everything and always wondered who waited where, who was positioned there etc. I worked only a few blocks from there for almost Three years

Scotch pointed out earlier that the guy described by Gravano in his testimony was most likely Frank LoCascio, as he said that he was made and from the Bronx, while the Frank Lowe murdered in ‘88 was an associate and from BK/SI.

where did everyone park on Mulberrry Street?

[TSNYC]

where did everyone park on Mulberrry Street?

Lot of double parking, there also used to be a big lot on Kenmare St if I remember right, think near little Charlie’s clam bar (rip) … have a couple other reports from wakes in manhattan and was wondering the same.

[newera_212]

where did everyone park on Mulberrry Street?

Just like TS said there was a lot on Kenmare too and I believe there was another lot up on Lafayette and Houston IIRC (?) which wasn't too far away - but a lot of guys just parked on the sidewalks, almost perpendicular like how you'd see cops park outside of a precinct. Gotta think that some of them were just getting dropped off by a driver, too.
