Miscellaneous Philly Mob Articles

[Curiosity]

I'm gonna post some old Philly articles mostly from the 1980s here. I'll be posting more later but right now I'll leave you all with three little articles I found funny/ironic.

Bobby Simone gets arrested after a night in Atlantic City. (Article from August 25, 1981)

Sorry guys, I just realized you're not able to read the articles clearly. I can't seem to edit the posts so I'll repost the pictures zoomed in this time. I know this makes it more difficult to read but at least you're able to read it.

If I'm doing this correctly, I think the images should show clearly if you right click and select open link in new tab. It's not clear (for me anyways) if you right click and select open image in new tab. Hope that helps!

It says the rest of the article is continued on page 31... I'm not sure if I have that part. I'm searching through my files and finding stuff as I go so I'll look for it. Can't believe I didn't realize I didn't clip the entire article. Huge mistake on my part.

I did find this clipping from the same article but it continues on and I don't have the rest. Really sorry guys, I didn't realize that.

Hope that didn't hurt too bad to read and hope you liked it. I'm gonna be looking for more articles that I have and posting them soon.

These are great, I love the illustrations in that one article. Someone should make Scarfo fan-art.

You know, I just can't ever get enough of the Falcone murder.

Glad you like Ivan. Those illustrations are top notch.

Here's some articles from November 2, 1989 about the attempted Scarfo Jr hit.

Those illustrations are top notch.

There was a really funny cartoon during the 2001 Merlino trial that had him and friends as "The Merlinos" instead of "The Sopranos", but I can't find it.
