My name is Jimmy Calandra , I was once a member of the infamous 'Bath Ave Crew' located in Bensonhurst Brooklyn NY. My Neighborhood was a recruitment center for the Five Crime Families of New York City. These wise guys watch you as your growing up and look for kids they can mold into thieves, crooks, and murderers. In time they recruit us and teach us the trade of a wiseguy. As your coming up and committing crimes, these men put you on record with them and they teach you how to earn. In return they introduce you to a circle of Underworld crime figures that is the Mafia. They teach you that we are responsible for each others actions and that they are your Brothers, and if they call you in the middle of the night "you come with no questions asked! And someday you too will be a Made Member of our Family. Just be patient and do what you are told "Even if it means Killing your Best Friend that you grew up with all of your Life. "Memories & Redemption" Jimmy Calandra A Bath Ave Story.
Im sure alot of the owners of the properties that use to be mob hangouts probably know about the history lol. In some ways it probably adds some atmosphere. I don't think i would ever want the property Roy Demeo used to lure people in and murder them systematically, processing them like they were sides of beef lol. I bet the place has to have some ghosts or evil and really heavy dark atmosphere.
This is cool! Sorry i asked you a few days ago if you would go back to your old place and just found this video where you have already done so. Thanks, tom in maine
Absolutely, literally 30 percent of my hard earned pay check goes directly to taxes...plus all the other taxes we pay.. it was never this horrible, I get very little back at the end of the yr, and I claim 0...the working man is discouraged from doing the right thing and trying to earn an honest living..!!!! Maybe crime does pay to some extent, our government is so corrupt and they are blatant about the way they steal from the working man. Best wishes Jimmy Frank from Providence.
Agree with you 100% Jimmy!!!! This country sure has changed over the yrs. Today I’m 57, damn those yrs went quick! Some places that I remember from being a kid are unrecognizable nowadays and it sucks! Hang in there Brother and have a great weekend!!!!
Jimmy 55 is young. You got a lot of years left my dude. A lot of more memories and life experiences you’ll make. And I think you’ll like being a grandparent one day.
If I’m gonna lose viewers because of my beliefs “ let it be. At the end of the day too “ I believe in Jesus Christ and they can hate me for that too. This world 🌎 is full of evil scum. RU-vid is not my life. 👍👋🇺🇸🙏
AMEN Jimmy we stand together on this for sure God bless our family and friends may the good Lord bless our real President DONALD J TRUMP he will win in November and we the people will take back our country 🙏

@JimmyCalandraABathAvenueStory I will buddy. I hope the same to you. I understand why you might like trump but can't agree with you. I mean you no disrespect. This is exactly why people don't talk politics at dinner. Hopefully, we can reconnect after the election. I hope the best for your family. I have enjoyed hearing your stories about 80s 90s nyc. That was my time too but in queens (flushing). I just don't see how things changed that much. What exactly changed exactly?
@kumarg3598 ...please don't vote for sleepy Joe again, he isn't healthy enough for the important job of president..!! He needs to retire and enjoy the few yrs. he has left.
the government makes the mob look like alter boys they are the corrupted clean house in DC and have TREM limitations keep up the good work Jimmy iam with you 100% stay safe brother 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Agreed 👍👍👍 i just feel bad for the kids cause they have to deal with the f up future!!!! I miss the 70' s and 80's and 90's brother jimmy!!!! The world we live in now blows big time!!!! This is not Brooklyn anymore!!! This is not the USA anymore 😢😢😢😢😢😢
The country changed after Obama was elected. Thats when things really went down hill. We have a bunch of liberals in congress who make a lot of noise and also let people into our country who do NOT share our values. Just look at the pro Palestinian rallies; that never would have happened here 15 years ago. They would of been beat up.
Things changed because we ran we sold our homes instead of handing it down to family greed kicked in and now New York City is all foreign looks like a Third World country, regardless of what real estate cost. People try to escape from the element ran Long Island Brooklyn. People ran to Staten Island, which is now getting infested as well. Then they’ll run to New Jersey. 😂
Hi Jimmy. I grew up on Bay 23rd Across from Lenny's Pizza. It is no longer what it used to be. Yes, times change but there is a level of disrespect with the new commers. We are living in a third world country now.. Trump 2024!!! All of the USA will vote Red. But New York will always vote blue. I am doing my farewell tour and leaving New York to Florida. I want to be surrounded by people who love our country and it is no longer here in Brooklyn. I pay 1000 per week in taxes and I see the migrants taking advantage. When my family came here from Italy we were too proud to take welfare and worked in sweat shops. Now it is gimme gimme gimme. Makes me sick. I look forward to your videos. xo.
