Examines the Youngstown, Ohio mafia including Joey Naples, Joe DeRose, Jim Traficant & more. #mafia #mob #LCN #youngstown #ohio #firebomb #hitman #shooting #corruption #murder
Born in Youngstown 1949. Left in ‘75. That was a pretty accurate description of the way things were in the 60s and 70s. Everybody knew somebody who knew somebody. The line between legal and illegal was, let’s say, pliable.
I don't know-how all the mills are close. I'm from Warren. I just wanted to work in the mills and buy a house for my mother. I left in 85 for the last time.
I’m a bridge painter started working for one of the bridge painting companies in 2007. They have an apartment for me in Campbell . There isn’t nothing around anymore. I feel bad for the city of Youngstown and the surrounding areas.
Born in Y-Town in 1949, drafted and left in 1969, went back in 2019. After 2 1/2 years we left for good. When the "wise guys" ran Y-Town it was a safer place to live. If you got out of line, don't fear the police, fear the "wise guys." Respect was a big thing.
You just qualified for comment of the year .!! Now here’s the ironic part . I personally knew the fella who cut his hair . His first name was Ray . I am not kidding . Anyway thanks for making me laugh today . Classic .
This is fantastic. Never saw this piece. Born and raised in Youngstown. It was a tough town. You had to be tough. That grit is why I’m successful today. All being said I do miss my home from time to time and the food is amazing.
@@AmazingPodcastCompany Was born in 72’ remember the mills closing as my father and grandfather worked there. Living and working in Indiana. Been a manager between Delphi (GM), Parma Stamping, and Lordstown for 20 years. Currently a manager at GM in both the Fort Wayne Assembly and Marion Stamping plants. Will be here until I retire. Will say my mind and heart always drifts back home. Outside of my son whom lives in Philadelphia, daughter whom lives in Columbus. Nothing like living in Youngstown, O. The people, the food, and the heritage. Holidays back home are wonderful memories. Are you still living in Youngstown?
@@spike8002- I also grew up there and yes it was a melting pot of culture, Italians, Hispanics, Arabs and the Greeks in Campbell. I remember going to an after hours bar in Campbell that had illegal gambling (I think Naples ran it) I also remember running to playing “the bug” for my parents as a child!! 😂 like 9yrs old. Yeah, tough town, the good ole days ♥️
Good 'ole days for sure. Youngstown was thriving in those days. Today it's cleaned up, half the population gone and no jobs left that a person could earn a decent living from.
I'm thinking mid to early 80's. They showed 12th Street in Campbell with Mike's Place and the Mill clear as day in the background. I haven't seen it that way since I was a little boy.
