Just by chance, is there anyone on AZ that lived on the Southwest waterfront of Long Island, NY, around Freeport, Baldwin, Oceanside, Island Park, or East Rockaway in the 1950’s? Maybe someone that knew the Green Boy’s, the Lonergen Brothers, the Ericson Brother’s, or the Langdon’s. We all use to hangout at the waterfront bars, like the old Porthole (Oceanside), 400 Club, The Pub, The Crowsnest, The Kennels, and the Bucket Of Blood, to name a few. I’ve been working on a book and am having trouble remembering a lot of the old waterfront bars we hung out and fought and did business in. Most were part of the Irish Mob. You may IM me here on AZ if you have some info from that area. Thank you. John Terrell

I'm 70 now. My Dad owned an Ice Business and stocked a lot of the bars in the area I'm asking about. I could go in most of the bars at 14 yo. Johnnyt

Wow. They must have been connected:cool:. We didn't deliver into the city. No pay -offs needed on the Island back then. Johnnyt
