Great stories. I feel like everyone in Queens/BK/LI/Jersey knows someone, somewhere, with vague mafia affiliations

It was pretty easy to bump into them depending on what industry (construction was a BIG one) or neighbourhood you were in. I just happened to be in a hotbed of mob activity and goons. That made it real easy for people around the area to claim they "know a guy" because it was likely true.
