It must be a Chicago thing as you don't ever see any New York guys wearing them. Meanwhile, you have a boss in Chicago (Sarno) surveilled with a backwards one. I have a newbsboy cap I wear in the colder months but I also have Irish blood, so I get a pass!

No. I probably would have shot myself if they did when I lived there briefly.

You have to wonder if these guys at least in part aren't emulating Nino Brown when they wear those hats given the usual life-imitating-art-imitating-life dynamic gangsters have always had going on with Hollywood. There's a pic of Sarno wearing one (I'm sure you've all seen it, it's from one of the very few pics of the more-elusive-than-bigfoot Cataudella).

For the record, I think it looks great on The Large Guy. Flatters his facial profile nicely. :lol:

If you look at the Davis court transcripts, it appears Rovito put that entire case together for the government - perhaps Gigi is an instragram gangster and getting a YouTube podcast soon?
Gigi and his brother have nothing to do with each other.

Nothing to do with current Outfit? Basically the entire active administration hangs out at Capri where Gigi interacts with them daily.

For those that don’t remember, Didiana was arrested and did time for an arson where he hired some gang members to burn down one of his buildings so he could collect insurance. Didiana has always been known to have ties to the Outfit but it’s always been unclear of what his role was or is.

“Look at da size of dis, like yer sister’s ass” lol.

Bobby D’s getting old. Been a long time since I been to the original Bacci’s on Taylor. Remember when they opened up the location on Chicago and Western in my neck of the woods, used to go in all the time. Big stupid slices like that were not common to find in Chicago back then.
They still have those slices lol

I know this place has been mentioned before on this thread as being an Outfit run place. I believe Jimmy I’s relative runs it? Right in the heard of the grand Ave crew. Chicago Illusions Dungeon seem to be in a little of trouble for taxes these days.

The owner of the building is Frank Cangelosi, while the guy running the actual sex dungeon business is named Anthony Vaughn. Looks like he has some prior experience in the tying-people-up-and-beating-the-shit-out-of-them business:

Chicago Illusions opened in the Grand Avenue building in August 1992, according to Vaughan, shortly after he finished serving probation for a conviction of using violence to collect debts owed to a Fulton Market meat distributor. According to a court filing that described him as tall and burly, Vaughan would hand out business cards bearing a drawing of a funeral wreath and the words: “We guarantee results.”
I’m not aware that either Vaughn or Cangelosi are related to the Inendinos (not saying that it isn’t true, just that if it is it’s not evident to me). The Cangelosis, I believe are related via marriage to the Cozzos, however. Cangelosis are a Sicilian family with a long history on Grand Ave (they were from Cefalù, so they were paesani of Frank Cullotta’s family).

Also note that the property was previously owned by Louie Panozzo, Bobby P’s dad. After he died in 2004, Frank Cangelosi acquired it. Cangelosi was able to qualify the building as a residential property and get a big tax break on it, hiring a law firm run by the son of the guy who worked in the Cook County Assessor’s Office under mobbed-up disgraced former Assessor Joe Berrios (in other words, The Chicago Way). Seems like someone dropped the dime on Cangelosi and now the new Assessor is investigating him.

I believe Vaughn is related to Jimmy I somehow. Maybe through marriage?

Ah, interesting, thanks. I tried looking into it but couldn’t find anything specific, though with contemporary people this kind of info isn’t always easy to find.

The article noted that he lives in Itasca. He is Anthony Vaughan (that spelling), about 61 years old and had prior addresses in Mt Prospect and Arlington Heights. I think there’s a good chance that’s he’s half ital, as his mother, if I’m right, may have been a woman with the maiden name Menno, whose family also lived in Arlington Heights. He is also publically connected to people named Maltese and Lampugnano. The Menno and Lampugnano families are old school Taylor St people, while Maltese *could be* connected to the Cicero Malteses (though it’s a common surname). The Lampugnanos were intermarried with the Scalzittis (Richard Cain’s family), while the Mennos may well be related to the Menno brothers (aka Manno, aka “Manning), who were notorious outfit-connected guys back in the day. If he had close familial tied going back to Taylor St and was involved in collections as a younger guy, he would certainly at least fit the MO of someone you’d expect to have some ties to Jimmy I.

Interesting. If his family is from Taylor street then he at least knows Jimmy I. That’s for sure . I’m not sure exactly where I first heard he was related so it might not be true. I also remember Don Heroin wrote about this place in one of his books. I will have to look in it and see if there is any further insight.
