NY Mafia boss on Springfield gangsters: 'I don't like dealing with them. They're like girls.'

Personally speaking, I found this crew (especially when Bruno was in charge) to be highly entertaining. I hope a book comes out in the future strictly on the Springfield crew.

Wiseguy, I don't know if this was a pipe dream or what, but I vaguely remember mention on the forums that the Genovese, I think it was, had a member in New Britain, CT. Does that ring any bell?

Not specifically but it wouldn't surprise me. While I don't recall off the top of my head the Genovese family having a crew based in Connecticut like the Gambinos (someone will have to correct me if I'm totally spacing it), they always had guys from New York and Springfield crews active there.

John F. "Sonny" Castagna ran illegal casino games in social clubs in New Britain, Meriden and Hartford

and Volpe had a bar on New Britian Ave in Hartford. Maybe you mean that?

Yes, my bad. I meant that Volpe had a bar on New Britain Ave
